Matchday 27 in the Korean L-League sees a top four battle as fourth-place Pohang Steelers host league-leaders Jeonbuk. Who will come out on top in this match between the Steelers and the Greens? Check out our prediction below!
The hosts come into this clash off the back of a 1-0 away win over FC Anyang last Friday. It marked the third consecutive 1-0 victory for Pohang, boosting them up in the standings where they now trail second-place Gimcheon by just two points.
The run of clean sheet wins comes immediately after Pohang suffered a three game losing streak where they conceded a total of 12 goals. They’ve certainly been inconsistent on the defensive side of the ball but will be hoping their newfound solidity holds up against the league leaders.
As for Jeonbuk, they enter this matchup after a 1-1 home draw with Gangwon in the Korean Cup semi-final first leg. Their league form has been stellar, winning the last six games in a row and boasting an unbeaten run of 22 games.
Across all competitions, the Green Warriors haven’t lost since the middle of March (26 games unbeaten). The result has seen Jeonbuk build up a dominant 17-point lead in the K-League standings, where they look set to claim a record 10th league title and their first since 2021.

Our Pohang Steelers vs Jeonbuk FC Prediction
These two teams faced off only one month ago at this ground, and it was Jeonbuk that pulled off a fantastic comeback to claim the three points. On that day, the visitors overturned a 2-0 first half deficit to win 3-2 in what would have been a bitter blow to Pohang.
Since then, Pohang’s defense has improved considerably, and they will take a newfound confidence into this matchup. Still, Jeonbuk’s dominant results in this year’s K-League cannot be ignored and their stellar away record stands out as one of the main reasons for their success. Our Pohang Steelers vs Jeonbuk prediction: Jeonbuk wins the match.
