The 2012 champions FC Seoul look to defend their spot at the very top when they travel to Daejeon Citizen this Saturday. The Purple Crew may have won the last two encounters, but we think the Dark Red Warriors’ league-topping form will see the visitors prevail in this match prediction.
After an unbeaten start of seven games with six wins, FC Seoul are now faced with just one victory in its last four games. They lost to Gimcheon (3-2), drew FC Anyang (0-0), and suffered another defeat against Jeju (2-1). However, the Dark Red Warriors just won their latest game, beating Gwangju 1-0 on the road.
We think that victory, combined with Seoul’s slender three-point gap at 1st, should see the visitors travelling only for all three points. After all, the Daejeon Citizens are in a much worse position, having failed to win their last three games and losing the last two.
The Purple Crew’s back-to-back defeats to the Pohang Steelers (2-0) and Gangwon (2-0) now see them in 9th place and dangerously close to the relegation zone. But that shouldn't be surprising, as Daejeon has actually recorded the joint 2nd-most defeats this season. At 2.50 odds, we think backing the 1st-placed FC Seoul to win is a great bet.

Our Daejeon Citizen vs FC Seoul Prediction
It's hard to make a case against the league leaders taking the lead here and winning this game. FC Seoul may not have beaten Daejeon since July last year, but with this electric form, they already look like the winners on Saturday.
The Dark Red Warriors boast the most wins, best away form, and most goals in the league. Meanwhile, the Purple Crew are factually the worst team at home this season, netting just two goals in seven games. Hence, our Daejeon Citizen vs FC Séoul prediction is that FC Séoul wins.
