3 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Pohang Steelers, who have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in K-League 1, have to build on here at Steelyard Stadium in the K-League 1.
Pohang Steelers drew their last game, also a home match. Nagoya Grampus was the opponent, 1-1 the score. B. Tashchy was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Nagoya Grampus after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
A 0-0 draw away before that, with Ratchaburi the opponent.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Steelers's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won three matches, drawn one and lost one.
Steelers have scored 7 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. 9 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Seoul, who have now gone twelve games without a victory. The Suwon Bluewings game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
