Action returns in the South Korean K League 1 with fifth-place Pohang Steelers travelling to face basement boys Gwangju FC on Saturday in Round 17 at Gwangju Football Stadium. With four wins in their last six matches, Steelers enter this clash on the front foot against a Gwangju FC side yet to snap their winless run since March 2026, hence our prediction in favour of the away side.
Gwangju FC have been the whipping boys so far this season in the South Korean topflight. Halfway into the campaign, the Gwangju-based outfit have found themselves bottom of the standings with just eight points from one win, five draws, and 10 losses.
Min-seo Moon’s 64th-minute equaliser ensured Lee Jung-kyu’s side salvaged a point in a dramatic 1–1 draw against second-place Ulsan HD last time out. However, that result extended their run of matches without a win to 14, seven of those at the Gwangju Football Stadium.
Wanderson’s brace and Lee Ho-Jae’s 76th-minute winner saw 10-man Pohang Steelers edge seventh-place Anyang in a five-goal thriller (3–2) on the road at the weekend. Park Tae-ha’s men are on a 10-match road stretch and have now won four of their last six outings, opening a five-point cushion over the relegation group. They have defeated Gwangju FC in the most recent two meetings between the two sides.
