On November 6, the Steel Yard Stadium in South Korea will host an Asian Champions League match between two clubs: the Korean Pohang Steelers and the Chinese Shandong Taishan. The teams occupy different positions in the standings. Who will be able to take points in this confrontation? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Pohang Steelers

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.
Disqualifications and injuries

Current form
Shandong Taishan took fifth place in the tournament table following the results of the recent Chinese championship. What is noteworthy is that the team is also in fifth place in the Champions League ranking.
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. The upcoming opponent is not easy, so special attention should be paid to the quality of the defense, because Pohang is famous for its attacking actions.
