Jeju United
- Two teams in the middle of the Relegation Round will meet on Jeju Island on Sunday when Jeju United host Daegu FC in the latest chapter of a rivalry that is becoming quite interesting, and this Jeju United vs Daegu FC prediction is set to draw plenty of interest from fans and punters alike.
- Jeju are the slight favorites here at _2.24_ with Daegu coming in at _2.99_ and the draw at _3.5_, reflecting the expectation of a tight contest and providing great context for our Jeju United vs Daegu FC betting tips in this matchup.
- The hosts, who are a little more fluid in their style, play a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system that allows them to press in the right situations and exploit transitions.
- They are a balanced and structured side with Nam Tae-hee and Italo providing plenty of midfield creativity and control, but their star players are up front where Evandro can provide double-digit goal contributions and Yuri Tanque seems to have a nose for big occasion goals.
Daegu FC
- Daegu, although having played some of their best soccer of the campaign recently, have been unable to keep up with the rest of the division and are mid-pack in the relegation mini-table with five games to go, making the Jeju United vs Daegu FC betting tips especially relevant for those trying to forecast the outcome.
- Byung-Su Kim has really made his mark at the club by instilling a defence-first, compact and difficult to break down approach that can produce goals from set-pieces and has his two veterans Edgar and Bruno Lamas to cover at both ends of the pitch.
- Daegu have been more solid in the last few weeks, holding Ulsan and Suwon to draws after beating Gwangju 1-0.
- They may still lack the ability to finish matches and, although they will be up against a leaky defence, it is still hard to see Daegu scoring more than once on Sunday.
Head-to-Head
- Four of the last five K-League 1 meetings between the clubs have produced at least three goals, with both teams scoring.
- Daegu beat Jeju 3-1 at home in May 2025, but the reverse leg saw Jeju triumph 2-1 on their own patch in June.
