The hosts continue to struggle in the final third, averaging just 1.14 goals per game.

This suggests their defensive setup is fairly solid, but attacking output remains limited. Notably, Daejeon are on a run of eight consecutive home matches finishing under 2.5 total goals, with the team never scoring more than 1.5 goals per game during that stretch. Such statistics underline their cautious and pragmatic approach on home soil. In their last league outing, Daejeon fell short away to Gangwon (0-2), rarely threatening the opposition’s goal.

Seoul continue to set the pace at the top of the league, delivering consistently solid performances. Over their last ten fixtures, they have picked up five wins, suffered three defeats, and drawn twice. On average, Seoul find the net nearly twice per match-1.79 goals scored-while conceding just 0.79. The back line has been particularly reliable, rarely making costly mistakes. In their previous five outings away from home, Seoul have claimed three victories, recorded one loss, and drawn once, underlining the team’s positive mindset ahead of a visit to an opponent whose attack poses limited threat.

In the previous round, the capital club battled to a hard-fought away win over strugglers Gwangju (1-0), with Ruiz netting the decisive goal early in the second half. The league leaders dominated proceedings, enjoying 76% possession and firing off 12 shots, but managed to hit the target just once. It’s clear that Seoul need to sharpen their approach in positional attacks, as mid-table sides and relegation battlers often park the bus in defense, forcing Seoul to break down compact back lines.
