Pohang Steelers Preview – Can Pohang build on good start?
With 4 points from their first two league matches of this new K-League season, Friday’s hosts, Pohang Steelers will be keen to build upon their promising start to this new campaign when they play host to FC Seoul at their Steelyard Stadium.
A 2-0 home win against Busan I’Park was the perfect start for Pohang and they earned a point on the road in last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Daegu and they have another chance to pick up another good result on home turf this Friday as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten run in the K-League to 6 matches overall.
Towards the end of last season, Pohang Steelers picked up wins against Friday’s opponents, Seoul, in a 3-0 away win along with a resounding 4-1 win at Ulsan Hyundai, while previous results at home have seen Pohang unbeaten in their last 8 matches. In addition, Pohang have also won the last two meetings on the trot against Seoul as well.
FC Seoul Preview – Can Seoul catch Pohang cold?
Seoul bounced back immediately from their opening day 3-1 defeat away from home at Gangwon last weekend when they registered a 1-0 home win over Gwangju at their Seoul World Cup Stadium, which will give the visitors belief in getting something out of this upcoming trip to face Pohang Steelers this Friday evening.
However, that win over Gwangju was Seoul’s first success for a while and one which put an end to a previous 6-match spell without a win in the K-League – a poor sequence of results which included 4 defeats (including a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Friday’s hosts, Pohang Steelers).
The visitors have also failed to win any of their last 4 matches on the road in the South Korean top flight which includes losses at Gangwon (twice), while recording just 1 win out of their last 9 matches on their travels suggests this could be a tricky evening for Seoul against an in-form and solid looking Pohang outfit.
