Pohang Steelers and Gangwon are set to trade tackles at the Pohang Steel Yard in an exciting K League 1 encounter.
Strikes on either side of half-time proved enough for a 2-2 draw away to Daegu last time out. A return of one win from four league matches (D1, L2) has seen underperforming Pohang Steelers fall out of the K League 1 title race. However, the ‘Steelers’ will feel confident about getting back to winning ways here after winning two of their last three home league outings ‘to nil’ (L1). Additionally, since a 2-1 H2H defeat in May 2017, Pohang have alternated between victories (4) and draws (3) across their seven subsequent home meetings. Conceding first could prove detrimental to Pohang’s hopes of extending their impressive H2H home record. Indeed, they’ve gone winless in all six top-flight matches in which they shipped the opener this term (D1, L5).
On the other hand, Gangwon have only won once in their last 11 K League 1 outings (D5, L5), slipping to 10th in the standings. Despite Gangwon’s abysmal form, they come into this matchday trailing the playoff zone by only three points. It gets worse for the ‘Kodiaks,’ as they have yet to pick up a single away league victory this season (D4, L2). That’s mainly thanks to their underwhelming scoring return. Choi Yong-soo’s men have netted a measly average of just 0.83 goals per K League 1 travel this term, drawing a blank on three of their last four league trips. So it comes as no surprise they’ve lost both away league games in which they conceded first to date.
