Daegu will welcome Pohang Steelers to DGB Daegu Bank Park in the K League 1 on Tuesday. The hosts are last in the standings, having won just three of their 18 league games. The Steelers have fared much better with eight wins and are fifth in the standings with 28 points.
The hosts are winless in their last five league outings, suffering four losses. After a 1-1 draw against Gwangju earlier this month, they suffered a 2-1 away loss to Jeju last week.
The visitors have seen conclusive results in their last seven games, recording four wins. Their winning streak ended after three games last week as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Gimcheon Sangmu. They failed to score for the first time in four games and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.

Daegu vs Pohang Steelers Prediction
The hosts have won just one of their last eight games in all competitions, with that triumph registered away from home in the Korea Cup in May. They are winless in their last three home games. They have suffered two losses in that period while failing to score in both.
The visitors suffered their first defeat after three consecutive wins last week and will look to bounce back here. They have conceded one goal apiece in five of their last six games.
Considering the recent history between the two teams and their goalscoring record, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
