Daejeon Citizen and Gwangju meet in K League 1 in clearly different conditions. The hosts have just drawn 1-1 at home in the league and are still unbeaten in five matches, while the visitors won 4-3 in their latest game, but before that they mostly managed only draws. Daejeon Citizen have scored 48 goals from 31 matches this season; their attack has quality and they clearly dominate possession more than their opponents. Gwangju, meanwhile, have already conceded 66 goals in the same number of matches, making them one of the leakiest defences in the league, and they have scored only 25. This game is likely to see the hosts push forward from the start, with Gwangju waiting to counter occasionally. If Daejeon Citizen can dominate possession and push high as planned, the visitors' defence, which already has problems, should struggle to cope for the full ninety minutes.
