Daegu vs Beijing Guoan prediction, preview, team news and more

Daegu take on Beijing Guoan at the Milliy Stadium in Tashkent on Friday. This will be their third Group I game in the AFC Champions League.

Daegu have been in good form this season and will be going into the game off the back of a 7-0 victory against United City last time out. Lee Byueng-keun's side are currently second in Group I and a win on Friday could potentially take them to the top of the table.

Beijing Guoan will go into the game following a humiliating 7-0 mauling against Kawasaki Frontale last time out.

Slaven Bilic's side are currently third in the group and have been inconsistent this season. A win on Friday would see Beijing leapfrog Daegu into second in the group.

One of the two sides are most likely to finish second in the group, and Friday's game will be crucial in deciding who does.
