Gangwon FC vs Daegu FC Prediction: We Expect Quality From Both Sides

The SkyBlues of Daegu are the next Gangneung challengers as they face the Kodiaks of Gangwon in frantic efforts of a three-point league dispute. Individual efforts from both teams last week saw the two sides shy of victories, with Daegu taking a stalemate and Gangwon falling to a loss. As such, the two distressed teams expect a quick return to winning ways, inferring a thrilling anticipated clash.

Recent Form: W-W-L-D-L

Formation: 3-5-2

The Kodiaks of Gangwon faced a second consecutive loss against the Pohang Steelers last week despite scoring a consolation goal in the 94th minute of the game. The game saw the side struggle from the first half, where they conceded an own goal, which was eventually nullified in their 94th-minute breakthrough before the opposition squashed all hopes of parity two minutes after.

The 3-5-2 formation deployed is expected to be tweaked in this round, seeing how ineffective it has been in these games. Yang Min Hyeok is the standout player in this brawl, playing his way to the hearts of the fans last week with his determined insistence on a standoff, which eventually slipped through their fingers.

Recent Form: W-W-L-W-D

Formation: 5-4-1

Last week, against Seoul FC, Daegu shifted its formation from the conventional 5-3-2 to a 5-4-1, suffocating the midfield, which eventually led to a 1-1 stalemate. For a team eager to jump off the relegation bandwagon, the team continues to strategize and input efforts.

Cesinha, the saviour of the game against Seoul was on target in the 98th minute of the Seoul 86th-minute-inspired 1-0 lead; which beforehand, highlighted many of their home fans leaving in utter despair.

Five recent meetings between the sides produced two stalemates, two victories for Gangwon FC and one win for Daegu FC.

Daegu have established themselves as a scoring side, and Gangwon, who already hold the slate as the highest scoring team, would be eager to gain all points. We expect goals. Our best picks are:
