Pohang Steelers will host Jeonbuk at the Pohang Steel Yard on Saturday in another round of the 2025 K League 1 campaign. The home side have had mixed results in recent games and have fallen behind in the title race as they sit fourth in the table with 32 points from 21 matches.
They were beaten 4-1 by Seoul in their last match, finding themselves a goal down less than 20 minutes into the contest before a red card to Oberdan Alionco at the half-hour mark all but scuppered their chances of a comeback result on the road.
Jeonbuk, on the other hand, are in brilliant form at the moment and are going full steam ahead in pursuit of a first K League 1 title since 2021. They beat Gimcheon 2-1 in their last league outing, featuring a brace from Andrea Compagno, before beating Seoul 1-0 in the quarterfinals of the Korean Cup last time out.
