Pohang Steelers vs Daegu FC Prediction: Daegu Looks To Capitalise On Pohang’s Fatigue

Week 28 of the K League unveils as Pohang’s Steelmen receive the Daegu SkyBlues. The hosts, who came close to a Cup disappointment, are not expected to renege on their silverware ambitions despite the close fixture schedules. The visitors from DGB Bank Park are hopeful for a weaker resistance, of which victory may be all they require to define their league’s fate.

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

Of the four teams vying for the top spot, Pohang seems to suffer most of the reshuffling tension as they have only picked three points from the last five league encounters.

The Steelers look to quickly overturn their three-game losing streak with a dominant 2-1 scoreline against Gimcheon Sangmu, FC Seoul and Jeonbuk Hyundai.

They were utterly impressive in the first leg of the FA Cup semifinal contest against Jeju United, returning from a 2-0 defeat to share the spoils in the 2-2 stalemate at full time. Things, however, are expected to be positively different when Jeju United repays the favour on their home turf.

Tackling master Wanderson, as usual, remains the favourite player in this game. His excellent tackles are sure to create counterattacks for the side, which may once again guarantee victory for his side, returning them to hostile pack chasers.

League Form: D-L-D-L-W

The Sky Blues have been unpredictable in the last five games, with highlights spanning the 3-0 victory over Gimcheon Sangmu and unexpected 1-0 defeats to Ulsan and Gwangju.

Daegu’s frontman Cesinha, who scored against Juventus in the Club Friendlies, is the undoubted terror in the frontlines. As he decimates his opposition, he is expected to increase his seven-goal running tally.

Four recent meetings between the sides produced two Pohang Steelers victories. Also, two BTTS and two O 2.5 total goal tallys were recorded in these encounters.

The Dae-Po clash has recently produced goals, with BTTS being the dominant scoring trend. Expectations are high for the hosting side, which was stressed thin in the FA Cup brawl. Our top decisions for this game are:

• O 2.5 goals at 1.90 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS at 1.70 odds from Betway.
• It's a win for Pohang Steelers at 2.14 odds from 1xbet.
