Landers vs Kiwoom Heroes Prediction 20 September 2026
📡 SSG return home after a two-day break and three consecutive wins, improving their record to 57-69-5. Kiwoom, on the other hand, are winless in their last five outings, suffering four defeats before settling for a 6-6 draw against Doosan. The hosts sit higher in the standings and boast a significantly stronger offense, although the pitching matchup gives the edge to the visitors-Ha Young-min has shown more consistency than Kim Gun-woo.

📊 The last 10 head-to-head meetings are split evenly at 5-5, with Kiwoom holding a slight edge in runs scored, 56 to 53. In their September series, SSG took two out of three games-winning 4-0 and 9-6-before Kiwoom bounced back with a 3-2 victory.

Head-to-head statistics Landers - Kiwoom Heroes
SSG have put together three straight wins and now boast a well-rested bullpen.
SSG sit seventh in the standings, posting a .258 batting average, 134 home runs, and a 5.22 ERA.

Match Results: SSG Landers
Good Ha Yeon Min does not shy away from highlighting the systemic issues at Kivuma.
Kiwoom remain in tenth place with a 45-84-4 record, a .241 batting average, 96 home runs, and a 5.29 ERA. Over their last 10 games, they have gone 2-8, with starters posting a 6.71 ERA and relievers at 4.89. The team is winless in their last five outings, managing no more than two runs in three of those contests. Even a strong outing from Ha Young-min can't mask the squad's lack of depth.

⚾ Starting Pitchers
Kim Gon-woo, the lefty for SSG, enters with an 8-10 record and a 6.08 ERA. He’s made 25 appearances, all as a starter, logging 118⅓ innings with 138 hits allowed, 102 strikeouts, 91 earned runs, and a WHIP of 1.73. Kim has delivered five quality starts but has yet to throw a complete game or a shutout. Over his last three outings, he’s surrendered 12 runs in 14 innings, making the starting pitching spot the biggest concern for the hosts.
Ha Young-min, the right-hander for Kiwoom, holds a 6-8 record with a 4.31 ERA. Across 24 games (21 starts), he’s worked 117 innings, given up 122 hits, struck out 96 batters, allowed 65 runs, and posted a WHIP of 1.43. He’s recorded eight quality starts but hasn’t completed a game or registered a shutout. In his most recent appearance against LG, Ha was outstanding-six scoreless innings and just two hits allowed.
⭐ Editor’s Prediction
Kiwoom have the early edge thanks to their starting pitcher, and that’s the main risk for this bet: Ha Young-min has been far more reliable than Kim Gon-woo and is coming off a six-inning shutout performance. However, the rest of the matchup tilts in SSG’s favor. The hosts are riding a three-game winning streak, have launched 134 home runs to Kiwoom’s 96, and their bullpen is coming in fresh after two full days of rest-posting a 2.49 ERA over their last 10 games. Over that same span, Kiwoom have gone just 2-8, with their rotation posting a 6.71 ERA and the bullpen at 4.89. If SSG can weather the first five or six innings without falling behind significantly, the late stages of this game should give them a clear advantage. The main pick: SSG to win.
