We should be in for a very interesting matchup between Pohang Steelers and FC Seoul in Matchday 4 of the K-League 1. While Pohang searches for its very first win, Seoul looks to continue its perfect start to the season. Who wins this game, and what's the best bet here? Find out in this match prediction.
Pohang can say they're still untreated, but this is definitely not the start the Steel Warriors were hoping for. They managed to escape with a 1-1 draw on the opening day after collecting a 70th-minute red card against Gimcheon. However, the next game saw Pohang only take a point at home against the newly promoted Incheon United.
Those two draws have now seen the Steel Warriors go winless in all four competitive games they've played in 2026 (including two AFC Champions League games). Pohang’s search for a first win couldn't come against a worse opponent than FC Seoul, who are one of two teams with a perfect record so far.
The Dark Red Warriors just narrowly beat Jeju on the road to claim another 2-1 victory after also beating Incheon United 2-1 on the opening day. However, in between the two celebrations were back-to-back defeats for FC Seoul against Vissel Kobe in the RO16 of the AFC Champions League.
