Pohang Steelers vs Daegu FC Prediction: The Steelers Are Expected To Take This Perceived Low-Scoring Round

Daegu FC are set to take on Pohang Steelers in what promises to be a challenging PlayOff fixture. Despite Pohang Steelers' recent FA Cup victory, their season's ambitions seem to have come to an end as Ulsan Hyundai has already secured first place. The two sides have faced each other five times, resulting in two stalemates and two wins for the Steelers. While both teams have shown similar defensive prowess in terms of goals conceded, the Steelers have shown a greater attacking strength against other teams. Although Daegu FC are a formidable team, the odds suggest that a home victory is more than likely to be the outcome.

Pohang Steelers (2nd)

Last five matches: L-D-D

In terms of on-pitch performance, the Steelers are undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in the league. Their last five games across all competitions have resulted in three wins and two stalemates. Their performance in the FA Cup finals against Jeonbuk was outstanding, with four goals scored to secure a dominant victory. They also performed well against the Japanese side, Urawa Red Diamonds, coming out on top after a late penalty and home run. While they are yet to claim a victory in the playoffs and a win against Daegu FC would not come easily, it is certainly within their reach.

Daegu FC (6th)

Recent Form: D-L-L

On the other hand, Daegu FC have experienced bitter defeats against Hyundai sides, currently the top two teams in the league. Their defence has proven to be porous in recent domestic games, with only five points gained in their last five matches. Their game against Daegu FC exposed a weakness in midfield in the second half, leading to two goals conceded in the 69th and 90th minute. Despite this, they are capable of holding Pohang Steelers to a pensive showdown, and it remains to be seen if they can take advantage of any home advantage.
