Incheon United host Pohang Steelers in K League 1 this afternoon. The two teams sit next to each other in the table, separated by just one point, and the hosts' most recent match ended goalless, while the visitors have just returned to winning ways in the league. This is therefore a game in which neither side wants to drop points. The hosts are middling at home, with a mix of wins and draws, but their home attack is not especially sharp. The visitors, meanwhile, do better away than at home, picking up points consistently, and their away-table position is higher than the hosts' as well. Incheon United are expected to have slightly more of the ball given they are at home, but Pohang Steelers are likely to sit in a block and wait for counter-attacking moments. The first half may be cautious, but in the second half both sides are likely to open up and trade blows more, because each needs the points from this match.
