General match analysis
Daegu has a clear home advantage: averaging 2.25 goals scored and xG 1.66 per match with 60% possession, while Cheonan on the road averages 2.00 goals and xG 1.49 with 47% possession. The hosts register 12.75 shots and 5.25 on target per home match with an 18% conversion rate, whereas the visitors have 13 shots and 5 on target with a 15% conversion, indicating greater efficiency for Daegu despite a similar volume of attempts. In the last 5 matches Daegu scored 10 and conceded 13, while Cheonan scored 5 and conceded 5, so the visitors have been more defensively stable recently. Additionally, Cheonan have no away wins (0% wins, 100% draws away), while Daegu win 50% of home matches; both teams, however, play open games (average total goals: home 4.25, away 4.00). Considering the possession edge, higher conversion and Cheonan’s lack of away victories, I forecast a Daegu win, although a draw remains a realistic outcome.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The primary signal for BTTS - Yes is the 100% season-long rate of both teams scoring away for Cheonan City and 100% BTTS in Daegu’s last 5 home matches, against a league BTTS average of 63%. Goals data show the visitors average 2.0 goals scored and 2.0 conceded per match this season, while the hosts—despite a season rate of 0.75 goals per match—have averaged 2.0 scored and 2.6 conceded in the last 5 (10 scored, 13 conceded). In the last 5 matches xG stands at 1.68 for the home side and 1.27 for the away side, with xG against of 1.58 for Daegu and 1.47 for Cheonan, indicating both teams generate and concede roughly 1.3–1.7 xG and have realistic scoring opportunities. Additionally, the visitors are more efficient in attack: 5.0 shots on target and a 15% conversion rate versus 2.5 shots on target and 7% for the hosts, increasing the likelihood Cheonan will find the net. Considering these signals (100% season BTTS for the away team, 100% BTTS for the hosts in the last 5, and a 63% league average), I rate the Both Teams To Score scenario at ~80% versus ~20% for No Goal.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
The xG-based model projects a total expected goals around 2.86: home xG 1.30 and away xG 1.49. After adjusting for opponents’ average xG conceded (away concede 1.35 xG, home concede 1.57 xG), the estimate is roughly 1.33 goals for Daegu and 1.53 for Cheonan. Cheonan is clearly more threatening in attack — seasonally they average 2.0 goals, record 5.0 shots on target and have a 15% conversion rate, versus Daegu with 0.75 goals per season, 2.5 shots on target and a 7% conversion. Additionally, the visitors have had 100% of their matches over 2.5 goals this season, while Daegu have scored 10 and conceded 13 in their last 5 matches (an average of 4.6 goals per match), and with the league mean at 2.86 this supports the Over side. Cheonan have 0% clean sheets this season and Daegu 50% clean sheets, which increases the likelihood of both teams scoring and a higher total. Based on this I estimate probabilities: Over 1.5 ≈95%, Over 2.5 ≈70%, Over 3.5 ≈40%, so Over 2.5 is the best choice as the optimal compromise between risk and the data signal.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Cheonan City has a clear offensive edge: on average 2.00 goals per match versus Daegu’s 0.75, xG 1.49 vs 1.30 and 5.0 shots on target compared to the hosts’ 2.5, indicating more high-quality chances for the visitors. At half-time the visitors also perform better — average goals by the break 1.00 vs 0.25 and they lead at the break in 50% of matches, while Daegu leads at the break in only 25%. Nevertheless Cheonan fail to win away in the data (0% wins) and have 100% draws, so the probability of a draw as the final result increases significantly. Daegu meanwhile keep 50% clean sheets for the season and 75% clean sheets by half-time, giving the hosts a realistic chance to hold the result or complete a turnaround after the break. In light of the above figures the strongest signal is the visitors leading at half-time with the match finishing level, hence the HT/FT selection = 2/X.
