The South Korean Professional League will continue with matches on Wednesday evening, when Pohang Steelers will host FC Gangwon. M Live will broadcast this match live. Pohang Steelers has not lost in the past five rounds, and its overall performance has been more stable recently. At the same time, it has the upper hand in terms of past performance. Pohang Steelers will have no problem winning at home in this game.
Pohang Steelers has 38 points after 21 rounds, ranking third, only 2 points behind the leader Gimcheon Sangmu. Frankly speaking, the team is in the first group of the championship, and of course they want to fight for every point. In terms of recent status, Pohang Steelers has remained unbeaten in the past 5 rounds, and has scored a total of 10 goals on the offensive end. The performance of the striker headed by Lee Ho-ja deserves recognition. It must be pointed out that Lee Ho-ja has participated in a total of 10 goals (7 goals and 3 assists) in the team's league this season, and has scored in the past 2 rounds. His personal state is very good, and he will be the key to Pohang Steelers' victory in this game. In addition, Pohang Steelers has not lost a home game this season, and its defensive performance of 0.7 goals conceded per game is even more praised. In view of this, Pohang Steelers can expect to win all 3 points in this game.
Although FC Gangwon ranks fourth in the standings with one point less than Pohang Steelers, their overall performance is also worthy of recognition, but their defense is relatively weak, because the team concedes 1.52 goals per game after 21 rounds, and only the second-placed Jeonbuk Motors has a worse defense than them. At the same time, the +5 goal difference is the only team in the top four teams in the league that does not have a double-digit goal difference. In other words, it is difficult for them to achieve a good balance in both offense and defense, which is a major hidden danger for their trip. What's worse is that FC Gangwon has not won any of the last 10 matches against Pohang Steelers, and has lost 6 of them. The unfavorable factors of the match will inevitably make the players timid before the game, and FC Gangwon should not be overestimated.
