LiontipsPohang Steelers vs Shandong Taishan. Asian Champions League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Pohang are fifth in the Korean top division and no longer have any tournament goals to play for, allowing the club to focus on the Asian Champions League, where they are ninth in the East.
The hosts are among the top three most productive teams in the national championship, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per match. At the same time, the club has problems with converting scoring chances. If this figure were higher, then the position in the ranking would be much better. In short, the coaching staff has something to work on. In defense, things are not the best, because Pohang concedes an average of 1.3 goals per match. The figure is far from ideal.

The visitors have good attacking potential. On average, the team scores 1.5 goals per match. But the defense leaves much to be desired, because they concede just a little less than they score - 1.3.
