Pohang host Gimcheon Sangmu in Round 21 of the South Korean K League 1 at Pohang Steel Yard on Saturday. The five-time champions arrive for this clash on a three-match losing streak and are likely to struggle against a Gimcheon Sangmu side that is unbeaten in its last three outings, hence our prediction favoring the away side.
Pohang's poor recent run continued last week as they fell yet again, losing 2–0 at home to second-place and defending champions Jeonbuk. That result marked their third defeat in a row and saw them drop into the relegation group with 28 points.
Park Tae-ha's men have now suffered defeat in three of their last four home matches, making it even harder to fancy their chances heading into the clash.
Yi-Seok Kim's 90+4th-minute strike saw Gimcheon Sangmu secure a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over Daejeon in their last league fixture. They have now avoided defeat in four of their last five K League 1 matches.
Notably, Ju Seung-jin's men carried their impressive recent league form into the Korean Cup Round 32, defeating Suwon FC 2–1 on Wednesday. They are unbeaten in their last five K League 1 visits to Pohang, winning each of the last three.
