Pohang Steelers vs Suwon Bluewings Prediction

Pohang Steelers are defending Korea Cup champions, having lifted a fifth title last season. They will kick-start their title defense this week as they seek to make it to the quarterfinals. Their form coming into this clash has not been great and they have drawn six of their last seven home games.

Suwon have won just one of their last eight visits to this ground (four draws). Furthermore, they have been on an even poorer run of form than their hosts and their games tend to spark to life in the second half.

Eleven of the last 12 head-to-head games have produced under 2.5 goals and this trend could continue. We are backing the hosts to advance with a narrow victory and clean sheet.

Prediction: Pohang Steelers 1-0 Suwon Bluewings
