Daegu vs Suwon Prediction
Suwon have been the worst performing side in the league this term and are on the cusp of relegation. They need to start garnering points if they are to retain their top-flight status.
Daegu, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold but will fancy their chances of getting maximum points against a side that are winless in six league games. However, Suwon can draw inspiration from the two sides' most recent meeting last month, where they claimed a 1-0 home win in the cup.
Nevertheless, the hosts should claim a narrow win and also keep a clean sheet.
