Struggling Seoul will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Pohang Steelers in the upcoming league round. It’s 11th vs 4th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Pohang Steelers form and stats
4-1-0 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Pohang Steelers in their K-League 1 matches away. Long winning streaks away are a rare occurrence in football, which only makes Steelers's record of four away victories in a row even more impressive. They last lost points away in the Daegu game.
It's the second away game in a row for Pohang Steelers, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Sangju Sangmu (after extra-time) (placed 3rd) in the FA Cup last time out. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Suwon Bluewings in the K-League 1.
