Pohang Steelers are aiming for back-to-back wins over Daejeon Hana Citizen FC when they welcome the latter to Pohang Steel Yard on matchday 32 of the K-League 1. Pohang are in fourth place in the league standings, while Daejeon are right ahead in third place. Check out our match prediction below!
Pohang Steelers are riding a wave of momentum after seeing off the threat of Philippines Kaya FC–Iloilo on matchday of the AFC Cup. A 2-0 home victory made it back-to-back wins in the competition, leaving them in second place in Group H.
Tae-ha Park's charges are out to build on that result in their bid to return to winning ways in the league. Their last match ended in a 2-0 away defeat against Gimcheon Sangmu.
That result added to their league frustrations as they've now won just one of their last four matches (D1, L2).
Daejeon Hana Citizen FC, not involved in the AFC Cup, was spared from midweek fixtures. This means they enter this clash with a fresh pair of legs.
DHFC's recent league game was against Gangwon away from home. Despite being underdogs, a point was collected in a goalless draw. Also, this extended their unbeaten run to two matches (W1).
Sun-hong Hwang's charges are on the road once again and are tasked with ending a four-match winless run consisting of three losses and a solitary draw.
