ℹ️ Team News: Pohang Steelers
We think that Steelers could use a 4-4-2 system for the game and select In-Jae Hwang, Jeong-Won Eo, Min-Kwang Jeon, Hyeon-Seo Han, Tae-Seok Lee, Juninho Rocha, Dong-Jin Kim, Kwang-Hoon Shin, Jorge Teixeira, Ho-Jae Lee and Sang-Hyeok Cho.
🗞️ Team News: Gwangju FC
Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there’s only a single fitness worry for the Gwangju FC manager Jung-hyo Lee to be concerned about. Je-ho Yu (Knee injury) won’t be in action.
From our viewpoint, Gwangju FC could decide to make use of a 4-4-2 system, giving starts to Kyeong-Min Kim, Sung-Kwon Jo, Jun-Soo Byeon, Si-Woo Jin, Jin-Ho Kim, Jasir Asani, Tae-Joon Park, Kang-Hyeon Lee, Ji-Hoon Jeong, Gabriel Tigrao and Reis.
💡 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Gwangju FC and Pohang Steelers could find scoring goals difficult here.
We’ll see, but this could easily end up all-square. We’re therefore seeing a 0-0 draw at full-time.
