Pohang Steelers will come into the game following a 1-0 K League 1 win over Gwangju FC in their most recent fixture.
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.
