LiontipsJohor — Pohang Steelers Asian Champions League match forecast and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Johor has been the undisputed champion of the Malaysian Super League since 2014. This season, the team also has no competitors - after 19 matches, the hosts are confidently leading the standings, ahead of their nearest pursuer by 13 points. For the entire championship, the club managed to score 68 goals with only seven goals conceded. The team also looks very good in the Champions League. The team from Malaysia has already secured its participation in the playoffs after a 2-1 away victory over Central Coast Mariners in a recent match. Nevertheless, the Southern Tigers will try to win on their own field, despite the lack of tournament motivation.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no problems with the squad on the eve of the Champions League match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won ten consecutive tournaments in all competitions.
- In the last seven matches, the hosts have conceded only two goals.
Provisional squad: Subiaurre - Arribas, Gonzalez, Israfilov, Amat - Viera, Mesa, Insa, Eberti - Bergson, Aiman
Current form
Last year, the Pohang Steelers failed to confirm their status and flew past the continental competition zone. The team managed to get into the top six, but the guests took the last place there. At the final stage of the season, the club scored only two points in five matches, so this outcome is natural. At the same time, the team performed well in the national cup, beating Ulsan, the K-League 1 champion, in the final (3:1, D.V.). The year 2025 did not start well for the Korean club. On January 11, they managed to beat Japanese Kobe (3:1) in the Asian Champions League match, but then a major defeat against Kawasaki (0:4) followed. The domestic championship also started with a setback - the club defeated Daejeon Citizen (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the last match of the group stage.

1.80Tip and bets
The guests can still be eliminated from the playoff zone, so the last match of the group stage is extremely important for them. We will have to play against a formidable opponent who has won nine in a row, but the Korean team will obviously squeeze all its strength out of itself so as not to lose on the road. We believe that the Pohang Steelers will put up a decent resistance.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (+1) for the Pohang Steelers in 1.87
Bet on the total
Johor regularly scores against any opponent on its own field. The Pohang Steelers are also not going to stay in their penalty area, because it is the Korean team that needs points in this match. Most likely, we will see plenty of dangerous moments, so it's worth betting on the total more.
Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.52
Betting on corners
Judging by the way the teams have been playing lately, they will be able to please the fans with an abundance of riding totals, including the number of serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.70
