Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Pohang Steelers - Jeonbuk Motors!
It's no vacation for neither Steelers nor Jeonbuk Motors as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Pohang Steelers form and stats
Three K-League 1 home games done for Pohang Steelers, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches. The Pohang Steelers manager G. Kim might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
It's back home for Steelers, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Sangju Sangmu away with the result 4-2. A. Paločević (2) and S. Iljutcenko (2) found the net in that victory. Before that game, the home loss against Ulsan with the scoreline 0-4.
A goal frenzy last time out for Steelers, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Sangju Sangmu. Fun stuff to watch!
The match schedule is unforgiving for Steelers as they have a new game in only four days, a K-League 1 match thankfully also at home. Gangwon are visiting.
The Steelers fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Pohang Steelers have conceded 6 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Jeonbuk Motors form and stats
It's gone fairly well in the K-League 1 away games so far for Jeonbuk Motors with six points collected from three matches.
Jeonbuk go into this game after a win, the home game against Incheon United that ended 1-0. Before that one, a nice away victory 4-1 at Seoul.
The Jeonbuk manager J. Ferreira de Morais has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. Jeonbuk Motors have conceded 3 goals in these away matches.
