South Korea - K-League

Suwon FC

Prediction :

 

Both teams to score

 

Suwon started life without their star forward Anderson Oliveira with a win and will be eyeing the same away to Pohang. These two clash in K League 1 on Tuesday, with hosts Pohang in fifth and Suwon second from bottom. We have a prediction for the match below.

Dropping 11 points in the last five league matches has really impacted Pohang’s top six hopes. They’ve particularly been conceding a lot in recent matches, and their confidence levels might be dipping dangerously.

The two-time K League champions are coming off a 3-2 home loss to Jeonbuk and have now conceded 10 times in the last five matches. They are, however, unbeaten in four meetings with Suwon.

Suwon held Pohang to three draws before finally losing 2-0 in their latest meeting. They return to the same venue they lost at in May, hoping to turn the tables on their hosts. Ahead of this game, they staged an impressive comeback with two late goals to beat another top-six side, Gwangju, 2-1.

That was their first win in seven league games, but they are 13 points behind their hosts, confining them to underdog status. As they have failed to score just once in eight matches, Suwon will be looking to add to Pohang’s defensive woes.

However, with only one clean sheet in their last 10 league matches, they’ll be under the same threat.

Our Pohang Steelers vs Suwon FC Prediction

Pohang have in recent times lost their way defensively and stand as one of the weakest in that department in the league. Only Anyang and Daegu, who are in the relegation playoff spots, have done worse in defence. Pohang have done well in attack, though, especially when at home.

They meet a side that’s equally struggling defence. While Suwon haven't scored a lot on their travels, they should be able to rise against Pohang. They failed to score only once in the last four meetings with Pohang. With such stats, our prediction for Pohang v Suwon is for both teams to score.
