Head-to-head statistics Daejeon - Incheon

Daejeon Citizen Team Overview
Daejeon lost 2-0 to Kashiwa Reysol in their last AFC Champions League match. Despite having an equal share of possession, they had far fewer shots on target - two to eight - and conceded both goals after the break.
Daejeon are unbeaten in nine straight K League 1 home matches, but they come into this game tired. Hwang Sun-hong’s side are also playing in the league phase of the AFC Champions League, where the past few weeks have not gone well. Daejeon lost to Japanese sides Vissel Kobe and Kashiwa Reysol without scoring a goal. Between those two Asian fixtures, they also drew 0-0 with Jeonbuk in the league, with their opponents hitting the post twice. The match against Incheon will be Daejeon’s third in nine days.

Back in the top flight, Incheon are unbeaten in six straight matches and are now within touching distance of third place.

Prediction for the 1st half
In 12 of Incheon United’s last 14 matches, the teams were level at half-time. We expect a draw after the first half this time too. The bet is a draw in the first half at 2.15*.
Total Goals Prediction
There have been fewer than three goals in Daejeon’s home matches only once in their last ten games. Over that stretch, the hosts have scored 16 goals and conceded 12. The risk is that Incheon have scored just six times in their last ten away games. We still expect at least three goals. The bet is Total Goals - Over 2.5 at 1.89*.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
At home, Daejeon have won 6 of their last 7 K League 1 matches. Their attack has also been strong there: the hosts have scored at least twice in nine consecutive games. It will be difficult for the visitors to match that: they have scored no more than one goal in seven straight away games. The head-to-head record also favours Daejeon: Incheon have not beaten them in five consecutive meetings. Fatigue after the AFC Champions League may have an effect. But we are backing the hosts and expect the gap in the table to grow to four points. Bet - Daejeon to Win.
