The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Gwangju FC
Gwangju is failing this season in the South Korean championship. The club occupies the last place in the standings and has only 11 points to its credit, lagging behind the penultimate Bucheon by 13 points. The hosts have won just one game in 22 matches. In the last round, the team drew away with Bucheon (0-0). Before that, there was a defeat from Daejeon (0:2), and in the cup they managed to pass Cheonan City (1:0).
Pohang Steelers
The Pohang Steelers occupy only eighth place in the standings, but are only two points behind Anyang, who closes the top six. In the last five matches, the Steel have only lost. In the last round, the team lost at home to Ulsan (0:2), suffering its tenth defeat in the current season of the K-League 1. Before that, the club suffered dry defeats from Jeonbuk (0:2) and Kimcheon Sanmu (0:1).
It's hard to expect a victory from any of today's opponents. The hosts occupy the last place in the standings and only recently overcame the milestone of 10 points scored. The team has not won the championship for a long time and will now play against a fairly strong opponent on paper. However, the Pohang Steelers aren't in the best shape right now either. The team suffered five defeats in a row, including losing at home to rivals who were inferior in class. Probably, it will not be possible to beat even the last team of the championship.
Our betting tip is that Gwangju will not lose in 1.75
The visitors have never scored in the last three matches.
