Pohang Steelers will go into the clash after a 1-0 K League 1 win to defeat Gwangju FC in their previous game.
For 5 of the previous 6 clashes featuring Pohang Steelers, a comparatively low number of goals have been hit between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game during that spell comes to a mere 2, with the number of goals averaged by Steelers being 1. Such a pattern isnโt assured to be carried forward into this next game, however.
