Last season's runners-up, Gimcheon Sangmu FC, will host Pohang Steelers, who finished 4th, in the final game on Saturday. Bulsajo will be looking to start their campaigns on the right foot in hopes of competing for the league title again. But they must now overcome the equally determined Steelers, who beat them last time out in this very stadium. Stick around for our match prediction.
Gimcheon, who enter as the favourites, have indeed dominated in their most recent H2H. Over their last ten meetings, Gimcheon has won six and drawn two, with Steelers winning the others.
But what's most telling is that Bulsajo has won six of their last seven meetings, with The Steelers' only win coming in the latest game. Yet, the real decider here could be match freshness. While Gimcheon enters this game with at least two months of rest, Pohang Steelers will be playing following only nine days of rest.
The Steelers have been preoccupied with the AFC Champions League, in which they've underperformed. Pohang has played two AFC games so far this month, both against Gamba Osaka in a two-leg knockout. They drew the first 1-1 and then lost the other 2-1.
