β Editor's Pick
Pohang clearly have the upper hand in terms of organization, while Gwangju come into this clash as the tournamentβs most vulnerable side, struggling both defensively and in attack. Several factors point towards the under 2.5 goals trend: both teams have shown low scoring output throughout the season, with the visitors involved in 19 out of 21 matches featuring two goals or fewer. The hosts, meanwhile, have lacked attacking edge, suggesting a cagey contest with few chances. The pick is under 2.5 goals.
