Pohang Steelers vs FC Seoul: match statistics
FC Seoul displays significantly better away form with two wins in two matches (100% success rate) and a goal difference of +2, while Pohang Steelers at home have only two draws without a single win. The visitors boast a much better offense – averaging 2 goals per away match and a higher average xG (1.69 vs 0.90), which indicates higher quality of chances created. Pohang struggles to score at home (averaging 1 goal/match) and have 0% clean sheets, making them vulnerable to conceding goals. The difference in league position (8th place vs 2nd place) and the clear statistical advantage of FC Seoul in away matches point towards an away win. Considering Seoul's solid away form and Pohang's weakness in home matches, I expect an away win, although a draw cannot be ruled out due to the hosts' tendency to share points.
