**Pohang roll into Gwangju looking to keep the party going** — the Steelers are in red-hot form while the hosts are stuck in a rut. 🔥
Gwangju have mustered just two draws in their last five, dropping 0-4 at Incheon and losing to Seoul. Pohang, meanwhile, are on a three-win run and fresh off back-to-back victories on the road. The visitors also hold the head-to-head edge.
Key storylines:
- **Pohang's away record** has been sharp lately — three wins in their last five road trips show real consistency
- **Gwangju's offensive struggle** (just one goal in their last three home games) will make it tough to break down a Steelers side in form
- **Low-scoring pattern** — this matchup sits well below the 3.5-goal line given recent defensive solidity on both benches
Expected lineups:
- **Gwangju FC**: H. Roh, J. Kim, Y. Ahn, Y. Kim, M. Lee, J. Jeong, K. Choi, K. Hui-Su, M. Moon, H. An, C. M. Shin
- **Pohang Steelers**: I. Hwang, K. Ye-Sung, P. Chan-Yong, J. Eo, K. Shin, H. Seo-woong, H. Kim, S. Kim, S. Y. Ki, L. Ho-jae, J. Teixeira
Best picks:
- **Total Goals Under 3.5**: Under 3.5 goals
Prediction:
**Pohang Steelers 2–0 Gwangju FC**. Pohang's momentum and Gwangju's blunt attack should make for a routine away win.
