Struggling Suwon will take on Daegu in an important K League 1 fixture on Wednesday.
Suwon's struggles only got worse as they lost to Jeonbuk in the Korean FA Cup quarterfinals. They followed that up with a defeat in the Suwon derby. In the league, they sit in the penultimate position with almost no chance of securing a top-half finish.
The visitors will sense a glorious opportunity in this fixture, something that will aid them in bridging the gap with the top four.

Suwon Bluewings vs Daegu Prediction
Suwon will have to be at their very best to salvage anything from this game. Their disastrous league form has barely shown any sign of recovery. Their outser from the Korean FA Cup will only add insult to injury. However, with the season heading into its final third, it is time for them to string some good performances together and move up the table.
The visitors will not be in any mood to allow that as they look to close the gap at the top.
We expect Daegu to clinch a victory in this match.
Prediction: Suwon Bluewings 1-3 Daegu
