Pohang Steelers v Nagoya Grampus - AFC Champions League Quarter Final
Pohang Steelers v Nagoya Grampus - AFC Champions League Quarter Final

Suwon FC will entertain Pohang Steelers at the Suwon Civic Stadium in K League 1 action on Tuesday.

Suwon FC finished fifth in their second-ever domestic top-flight season last year. It was a successful campaign based on both their own and popular judgment. The bar has been raised for this season, but the results have not been convincing. The Suwon Dashers sit third from the bottom with 15 points after 16 rounds of matches.

Their upcoming meeting is a tough one. Pohang Steelers are one of the most dreaded sides in the league. And since they are currently struggling to keep up with the top guns, they will not be coming to Suwon for sightseeing.

Pohang Steelers are one of the most successful teams in South Korea. They have won the K League 1 title five times and the AFC Champions League three times. However, they last won the domestic top-flight title in 2013 and last year they finished in ninth spot.

FCPS have undergone some reforms in recent years but they still seem far from their glory days. However, their campaign is on the right track. They sit fourth, with 26 points – 10 shy of the leaders Ulsan Hyundai. They will look to claim another win on Tuesday, following their 3-1 thrashing of Gangwon on Friday.

Suwon FC will need to show how ambitious they are in the campaign as another defeat could send them deeper into the red zone.
