Jeju vs Pohang Prediction 18 July 2026

Both sides still have something to play for in the Top 6 race - Jeju are just three points off, and Pohang are looking to hold onto fourth. Pohang are slight favourites with the bookmakers, but Jeju at home can make life difficult.

Jeju Team Overview
The team's last official match took place on as part of the K-League tournament (home team - Jeju , away team - Daejeon ). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.

Cheju have been inconsistent - both in results and in front of goal. One win, two defeats and two draws from their last five matches tells the story. Over ten games, the attack has been muted: 0.8 goals per game on average, while they're conceding almost as much - 1 goal per match.
The season-long numbers aren't much better. They're averaging 0.82 goals scored, and the defence leaks at exactly 1 per game. Motivation isn't the issue, though - they're three points off the top six, so there's still something to play for. That said, their last win feels like a while ago now: back in early May, when they beat league leaders Seoul 2-1.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Despite the difference in current form and league position, we're expecting above-average scoring for these two: both sides are motivated by top-six ambitions - one chasing it, one protecting it - and historically their meetings tend to produce goals. 17 of their last 18 head-to-head games went over 1.5. Even if Jeju sit back, the visitors' attacking output makes at least two goals a reasonable expectation. Main prediction - total goals over 1.5.
