Daegu welcome the Pohang Steelers to DGB Daegu Bank Park in K League 1 action on Sunday.
The home team extended their unbeaten run to 10 games across all competitions as they secured a 5-4 win on penalties against Daejeon Korail after the Korean FA Cup game ended 3-3 in regular time. In their previous league outing, they secured a 3-0 win over Gangwon last Sunday.
The Pohang Steelers can make it three wins in a row across all competitions if they can secure a win here. They recorded a 2-0 win over Incheon in their previous league outing, while they came out on top against Seongnam in the Korean FA Cup fixture, securing a 2-1 win.

Daegu vs Pohang Steelers Prediction
Daegu look to be in good touch at the moment and are strong favorites at home. The Pohang Steelers are two places above the hosts in the league standings, boasting a better defensive record (11 goals conceded, versus 19 let in by Daegu) but have been outscored by the home team 20-16.
Just like the reverse fixture earlier this month, we expect the game to end in a low-scoring draw.
Prediction: Daegu 1-1 Pohang Steelers
