League Form: W-D-L-D-W

The Steelyard lads proved their ambitious drive last week against Gwangju FC, taking the game in the early embers of the match by scoring exactly six minutes after the initial blow of the game. Shunning the top spot with AFC returnees Ulsan, a slip in this game signifies an active threat to the side, whose drive for the top looks threatened by the hosting outfit, Gimcheon. Conceding a red card against Gwangju FC, Shin Kwang Hoon misses this game and would be tipped to return in the match against The Daejeon Citizens. Five games away from home, the Steelers have taken four wins and a defeat, proving to rivals on their home turfs that anything other than a win is a loss.

H2H ANALYSIS (LAST FIVE MEETINGS)
