Pohang Steelers host Seoul in K League 1, with the home side sitting 8th on 37 points from 29 matches, while the visitors lead the table with 62 points from the same number of games. The pattern of this game is likely to see Seoul dominate possession and push forward, while Pohang Steelers sit back and wait for counter-attacking moments. Pohang Steelers have not won in 5 straight matches, drawing 2-2 in their latest league game before losing 1-3 in the AFC Champions League Elite. The home side's attack has been blunt for several matches, while Seoul, despite a recent defeat in the AFC Champions League 2, have still won 3 of their last 5 league games and are clearly the side scoring more. If Seoul score first as the expected pattern suggests, Pohang Steelers will be forced to open up, which is when the visitors are at their best on the counter. The game is likely to end with the visitors controlling the situation and scoring more goals.
