Daegu will invite Incheon United to Daegu Bank Park in the K League 1 on Tuesday. Both teams have been in poor form this season and have just 21 points from as many games. The visitors are in ninth place in the league table, a spot above the hosts, thanks to their better goal difference.
The hosts are winless in their last three league outings but arrested their losing streak after two games with a 3-3 home draw against Pohang Steelers last week. Both teams had a player sent off in the first half and Cesinha bagged a brace.
The visitors are winless in their last four league games and also played out a draw in their previous outing. Late drama ensued as an 89th-minute equalizer helped them hold league leaders Gimcheon Sangmu to a 1-1 draw.

Daegu vs Incheon United Prediction
While Daegu are winless in their last three league outings, they have fared a little better at home and are unbeaten in their last three games, recording two wins. They have just one win in their last four home games in this fixture and might struggle here.
Incheon are winless in their eight league games while suffering four losses. They have failed to score in two of their last three games, which is a cause for concern. They parted ways with head coach Sung-hwan Jo following a poor run of form and Byon Jae-hyun will take charge as interim manager for this match.
Both teams have endured a poor run of form recently and are likely to settle for a draw.
