Pohang Steelers are the next in line for Jeonbuk’s league skyscraping ambitions as the twenty-seventh round of the K League goes underway. Enthusiasm ahead of this game is nerve-wracking as the morale contrasted the previous week. While the hosts are hopeful for a decent chance to climb out of their abysmal spot, a triumph for the visitors guarantees a potential spur towards the top spot.

Recent Form: W-L-W-L-L
The Green Warriors fell to a one-goal defeat against Gwangju FC last week, compiling two wins and three losses in five previous games. Luck has been far from the side despite desperate measures on the pitch to escape the red zone. Jeonbuk is the worst team defensively, conceding forty-eight goals in twenty-six matches. Pohang failed to take victory on Jeonbuk’s home turf in the last two visits. As such, the home fans stay hopeful for a decent performance.
Midfielder Jin Kyu Kil is Jeonbuk’s player of expectancy, with his long balls and playmaking something expected to trouble the opposition waters. Because of him, every direct free kick is a decent chance.

Recent Form: W-L-W-L-L
Pohang’s consistent scoring streak has impressed over time despite the perceived weak summary of their recent displays. The team that maintained a 2-1 losing streak against Gimcheon and FC Seoul in the last two games is expected to go all out against bottom Jeonbuk, whom they have beaten once in the last four meetings.
Coach Tae Ha Park’s 4-4-2 formation is expected to work wonders if a bit of tweaking can be done to reinforce the defences while the flanks join the attack.
The last five games produced two wins and three losses for the Steelmen, who were three points away from a decent position among the chasing pack.
H2H ANALYSIS (LAST FOUR MEETINGS)
With a 1-1 scoreline occurring twice, the last four games between the sides produced a win for either side, Four under 2.5 match goals and two BTTS.
