Jeonbuk Motors vs Daegu Prediction

This fixture overwhelmingly favors the hosts in terms of their recent form and head-to-head record against their opponents. Jeonbuk still have a lot of ground to cover to reach leaders Ulsan, and they will look at this match as an opportunity to secure another three points.

For the visitors, it will be nothing short of an upset if they manage to pick up all three points from this tie. The last time Daegu won this fixture was back in 2019. Since then, they are winless.

We expect Jeonbuk to seal the victory.

Prediction: Jeonbuk 3-1 Daegu
