The championship round race in the K-League 1 is already heating up on Matchday 12. The 4th-placed Gangwon now takes on Pohang Steelers, who are just one point behind in 6th place. Pohang already won the first meeting in March, but the betting odds favour The Bears. Let’s get into our Gangwon FC vs Pohang Steelers match prediction.
It’s been a rocky run for Gangwon FC, but they’ve managed to remain near the top after taking four wins and four draws in their opening 11 matches. Interestingly, The Bears won the latest, beating Incheon United 1-0 to win their 4th game in the last six matches, which is much better than their opening run of three draws and one defeat.
Pohang may have also just beaten Ulsan (1-0), but the Steel Warriors enter this game with an even shakier performance than Gangwon. The Steelers, meanwhile, enter with three telling defeats in their last five games alone. Still, they’ve done just enough to trail Gangwon by only one point and ten points off the top.
The question now is whether a visiting Steelers team with the fewest goals scored this season (8) can overcome The Bears for the first time in this stadium since 2024. For us, the better question is, can both teams score on Tuesday? Given their scoring form, we have doubts.

Our Gangwon FC vs Pohang Steelers Prediction
We’re banking on a low-scoring affair that should see one team, between Gangwon and Pohang, keep a clean sheet. The Steel Warriors present the most interesting case because they’ve scored and conceded the joint second-fewest goals, while keeping the joint-most clean sheets.
The Green Warriors have also kept the most clean sheets, while doing so in three of the Steelers' last four trips here. This was the case earlier this season, where Pohang won 1-0 thanks to a 71st-minute opener in a game where Gangwon took only six shots. Hence, our Gangwon FC vs Pohang Steelers prediction is BTTS: No.
