Daejeon Hana vs Incheon United Prediction: Can Incheon Win?

The Durumi Cranes of Incheon United, who scavenged on a stalemate last week, perch on the colors of the Daejeon Citizens in hopes of victory as Round 26 continues to unveil. The tension in the league boils heavily as two mid-table teams fight their way for better placements.

Recent Form: L-D-L-D-W

The Citizens of Daejeon continue their league struggle with two stalemates, two losses and one victory in five recent league exhibitions. For a team that has scored seven goals in the last five outings in the league, Daejeon fares worse than they should. Across the domestic FA Cup and the league, they have taken three losses, two stalemates and one win in six home games - poor, leaving the home fans without a win in the last six vist from opposing teams.

Manager Sun Hong Hwang’s 4-2-3-1 focuses on ball play in the midfield, ostracising flank plays that oppositions take undue advantage of most of the time, leaving an imbalance when first-aid approaches are taken.

Masatoshi Ishioda is the one under the camera’s beam since his relentless efforts to secure better spots for his team saw them cruise through a 2-1 victory against Suwon City last week, sparking rumours of a new dawn for the side, who anticipates victory in this game.

League Form: D-W-L-L-W

The Durumi Cranes of Incheon United stay strong with seven points in the last five league games. They took a slim 1-0 lead against Jeju United last week, which was a breath of fresh air for the side, having been rumored to have been in trouble after losing three games in a row from the FA Cup game against Ulsan.

They have been less than expected on foreign territory, picking only two wins from five recent games. Stefan Mugosa is expected to be more timely with his victory, as he scored in the second minute of injury time against Jeju’s Yukong Elephants. Incheon has scored in two of the last four games away from home, so there is a decent chance that a goal may be registered on Daejeon’s turf, as they have done in the last four direct clashes against the Citizens.

Incheon United has won the last four Daejeon meetings, maintaining three BTTS - NO, which featured under 2.5 match goals. There have been no stalemates between the sides in these games.

This will be a strict game of M.Ichida’s technical flair against Stefan Mugosa’s attacking prowess. A BTTS - NO may be a stretch, but Incheon will likely score before halftime. These are our top options for this game:

• Under 2.5 match goals at 1.75 odds from Bet365.

• A win for Incheon United at 2.64 odds from 1xbet.
