Sangju Sangmu vs Pohang Steelers 13/06/20

13 June 2020

Sangju Sangmu and Pohang Steelers go head-to-head at the Sangju Civic Stadium in an exciting K League 1 matchup, with just a single point separating the sides ahead of the kick-off.

Since succumbing to a 4-0 away defeat to Ulsan in the league curtain-raiser, the hosts have moved on to rack up a four-game unbeaten run (W2, D2), restricting their rivals to a maximum of one goal per match on all of those occasions. It will be vital for Sangju to open the scoring here, as they won both of their top-flight games in which they’ve drawn first blood. On the other hand, they returned two points from three K League 1 fixtures in which they’ve shipped the opener (D2, L1). The ‘Sangju Firebirds’ now take on a side they’ve not lost to in three consecutive league H2Hs (W2, D1).

Meanwhile, the visitors have endured mixed fortunes in the opening five league fixtures (W2, D1, L2), with the last three of those games producing over 2.5 goals. Away from home, the ‘Steelers’ have won three of their four previous league matches (D1), last season included, with each of those successes yielding a three-goal margin. Another high-scoring affair is on the cards here, considering that four of their last five top-flight H2Hs held at this venue have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams on the scoresheet.
