Jeonbuk Motors vs Pohang Steelers Prediction and Betting Tips | June 26, 2024

Jeonbuk Motors host Pohang Steelers at the Jeonju World Cup Stadium in the K League 1 on Wednesday (June 26). Pohang will strive to exploit the hosts’ dip in form to claim maximum points.

Jeonbuk have been unable to get their campaign off the ground, in stark contrast to their stats at this stage of the season last year. They sit rock-bottom with 15 points after winning three of 18 games, losing nine. Romanian coach Dan Petrescu was fired in early April after a poor run of results.

Assistant manager Kim Do-heon was upgraded to a caretaker position. However, the former West Bromwich Albion attacking midfielder is yet to steer the team away from troubled waters. Jeonbuk have won three matches and lost eight under him, losing 1-0 to Pohang Steelers in their previous clash.

Pohang, meanwhile, are second in the standings with 33 points, behind Ulsan HD (35 points). They will look to exploit Jeonbuk's weak form despite playing away from home. Pohang's previous visit to the Jeonju World Cup Stadium ended in a 2-0 defeat, but they look stronger this time.

The Steelers finished second last term, behind champions Ulsan Hyundai, missing the chance to claim a sixth title. The objective remains the same – to go all the way– according to head coach Park Tae-ha. A win could move them to the top but only if things go wrong for Ulsan in Daegu.
