The Steelers are unbeaten in the last five games, with two wins and three stalemates, taking into cognizance the previous week’s 3-3 stalemate in the six-goal encounter against Incheon United. Pohang prides itself on its stellar home record, where it has taken one win and two stalemates in the last three games at the Yard across the league and the FA Cup. Last week’s encounter against Daegu FC saw the midfielders in blazing form, threatening fire and haze on the DGB Bank Park Boys, who paid them back in exact coins.
This week, Coach Ta Hae Park resumes new tactics on his 4-4-2 lineup, which, although it opens the opposition for chances, leaves them vulnerable at the defense. Yun Sang Hong is the player under close observance, with his incisive passes guaranteed to upset the Kodaiks backline.
