Daegu FC VS FC Seoul

Match Overview

Daegu FC and FC Seoul are set to face off in what promises to be a closely contested encounter in the 2025 K League 1. Both clubs are languishing in the bottom half of the table, with Seoul slightly ahead in terms of points and defensive performance, while Daegu remains solid at home but inconsistent overall.

Statistically, both teams struggle to convert chances into goals, which is reflected in their modest scoring averages – Daegu averages 1.23 goals scored per match, while Seoul posts just 0.77 goals per match. Given their recent form and defensive emphasis, this match is expected to be low-scoring and tight.

Team Key Players

Daegu FC:

  • Man-Ho Park – The team’s top forward, known for his instinctive movement and finishing.
  • Lee Chan-Dong – The midfield enforcer who dictates tempo and covers defensively.
  • Jong-Mu Han – A key defender tasked with neutralizing aerial threats and marking strikers.

FC Seoul:

  • Ju-Hyeok Kang – Reliable striker with an eye for space and counter-attacking runs.
  • H. Bae – A versatile midfielder, strong in duels and capable of transitioning quickly.
  • Young-Wook Cho – A fast and dynamic winger who can exploit wide areas and provide key passes.

Match Pick

Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals
The game is expected to feature solid defensive lines and few scoring chances. FC Seoul’s defensive compactness and Daegu’s reliance on home advantage suggest a match that will likely be tactical rather than open.
