LiontipsGangwon vs Pohang Steelers. South Korean Championship Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Gangwon won't be able to fight for the championship this year. Before the last round, the team is in third place and is already eight points behind the current champion, Ulsan. This gap can no longer be made up, so they will have to fight only for the second place. The main competitor of the visitors, Gimcheon Sangmu, is only two points ahead of the hosts, so it is still possible to regain second place. The hosts dropped to third place after a heavy defeat to Suwon (0:4) in the last round. Before that, the club lost to Ulsan (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the lineup before the final round match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team suffered two defeats in a row
- None of the hosts' last five matches have ended in a draw
Estimated lineup: Kwang-Yeon Lee - Chun-Seok Song, Young-Bin Kim, Marco Tuci, Moon-Ki Hwan - Gi-Hyuk Lee, Yoo Hyun Lee, Dong-Hyun Kim - In-Soo Yoo, Franko Kovacevic, Min-Hyuk Young.
Current form
Pohang Steelers are not fighting for medals this year and are among the outsiders of the championship group. The team is in fifth place in the tournament table and is only ahead of Suwon, the weakest team in the upper half of the table, by additional indicators. At the same time, the visitors can still rise to fourth place, as they are only two points behind Seoul. In the last round of the K-League, the team lost heavily to the second team of the championship, Gimcheon Sangmu (0:3), and before that, they managed to beat Chinese Shandong Taishan (4:2) in the Asian Champions League.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their line-up before the final round.
Interesting trends for betting

Estimated cast: Pyeong-guk Yoon - Wanderson, Min-kwang Jeong, Gyu-bak Lee, Jeong-won Yeo - Min-ho Yoon, Oberdan, Chang-hee Han, Ta-Seok Lee - Hyun-jae Kang, Jae-hee Jeong

1.65Tip and bets
Before the last round, the hosts still have a chance to take second place in the South Korean championship, but to do so they need to beat Pohang Steelers and also expect Gimcheon Sangmu to lose points. Gangwon will clearly try to fight for silver medals, and the visitors are not in the best shape right now and are not an impenetrable opponent. We believe that the hosts will take three points and will hopefully wait for the result of the parallel match.
Our prediction is Gangwon win at 2.05
Bet on total
It is obvious that the rivals have accumulated fatigue during this long season and the players are looking forward to their vacation. In the last matches, the rivals have not demonstrated positive results and have scored very few goals. Most likely, the clubs will not be able to give a productive match this time either, so we suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.72
Bet on corners
We think that the teams will focus on defense, so we do not recommend betting on a large number of corners.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners for 1.82
