Daejeon Citizen and Jeonbuk FC meet at Daejeon World Cup Stadium, Daejeon on Friday, Oct 9 at 7:00 AM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the K-League 1. Just 2 points separate them in the standings.

Daejeon Citizen come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Jeonbuk FC travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Daejeon Citizen face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Jeonbuk FC have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 0–0 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Daejeon Citizen a slight edge, but Jeonbuk FC are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
