Daegu FC excluded a large number of key players in the final game of the regular season. In fact, he has calculated the playoff by accepting 11th place.

Daegu will play against Incheon United in the 38th round, the final match of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Daegu DGB Daegu Bank Park on the 24th.

By the 37th round, Daegu is 11th with 40 points. The opponent Incheon ranked 12th with 36 points, and the relegation was confirmed, making it impossible to see it in K League 1 next season.




However, Jeonbuk, ranked 10th, has 40 points. Jeonbuk will fight Gwangju, which has nothing to do with relegation. The 10th and 11th places may change depending on the results of the Daegu-Incheon match and the Jeonbuk-Gwangju match.

It is true that the 10th place is advantageous because the 11th place will play the K-League 2nd place in the promotion playoff, but the 10th place will play the K-League 2 playoff winner in the promotion playoff.

However, in the case of Daegu, it is difficult to rank 10th on its own, so it is interpreted that it has set its direction not to overdo it.




Daegu did not list Cesinha and Edgar at all. Hwang Jae-won starts from the bench.

Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun said, `I may not be able to appear in important games after getting hurt for no reason. As the emphasis was placed on the promotion and playoffs, the team focused on young players (today). I was forced to prepare like this. Today's game is important, but the playoff is even more important, so you have to match your condition", he explained.

Daegu is likely to play a playoff against Chungnam Asan, the runner-up in the K League 2.




Coach Park Chang-hyun said, `I analyzed a lot about Asan. Depending on the result, the opponent may change, but if it changes, we will prepare again as soon as it changes."

On the other hand, Incheon, which has only a justification left, operated its main lineup to the full.

Incheon coach Choi Young-geun vowed to win by saying, `You have to do your best to support the fans and be polite to the opponent.'
