Pohang Steelers vs. Seoul: South Korean Championship Match Prediction
Less than a month ago, the Pohang Steelers thrashed Seoul 5-1 in the Cup. Should we expect the same confident victory from the hosts in the national championship match on August 11? – the answer is in our forecast

Command Analysis

Pohang Steelers

Pohang Steelers are in fourth place in the table, but all the opponents above them have already played their matches of the 26th round. In case of a victory today, the team will be equal in points with the leader Gangwon. In the previous rounds, Steelers alternated victories and defeats. Thus, after a successful match with Daejeon Citizen on the road (2:1), there followed a home defeat to Gimcheon Sangmu with the same score.

FC Seoul

Seoul is in the midst of a battle for a place in the top six. The capital club is currently seventh, but the gap to sixth-placed Gwangju is only one point, and the rival has already played its match of the 26th round. It should be noted that Seoul won the two previous matches of the championship and is in good playing shape.

Less than a month ago, the rivals met in a cup game, and then the Pohang Steelers left no chance for the capital club (5:1). We don’t think that the visitors will be able to take points from the super-motivated opponent today. In case of victory today, the hosts will catch up with the leader in the tournament table. We believe that the favorite will achieve their goal.
Our prediction is Pohang Steelers win with Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.65
Bet on total
When choosing a bet on the total, you cannot ignore very productive head-to-head confrontations. Thus, in the last four personal meetings, more than two goals were scored, which we expect this time too.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals for 1.82
Bet on the first half
Note that three of the four previous face-to-face matches ended in a draw at the end of the first half. We believe that today, too, the opponents will not force the events on the field.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.28
