Head-to-head statistics Pohang - Ulsan
Pohang Team Overview
In the previous K League round, Pohang lost at home to Sangju (0:1). Pohang were well beaten in terms of possession (39% vs 61%), shots on target (2 vs 4) and corners (3 vs 7). However, the referee did not show a single yellow card in the match.
Pohang made a decent return to the season after the June break, winning two matches in a row. But then came a serious slump - a run of four consecutive defeats that they carry into the next round. Their average goals scored stands at under one per game (0.95), while the defence concedes just over one (1.05). At home, productivity is particularly limited: by the current trend, the club have not scored more than one goal at home in 15 straight games, and the total under 2.5 is recorded just as frequently. Despite high competitive motivation and a minimal gap to the championship zone, their attacking potential remains a problem.

Their average attacking output stands at 1.57 goals per match, but the defence has been leaking (1.43 conceded).

The standings situation pushes both teams to look for their chances in front of goal, with neither side able to afford to switch off in the race for the top 6. The editor's main pick is both teams to score (yes). Score prediction - 1:1.
