A win at the Steelyard, though, could move Lee Jung-hyo's men up to fourth. But Gwangju have only beaten Pohang away once and Pohang have lost at home just twice this season. Gwangju are fourth in the division for touches in the penalty area, ahead of Pohang. They are top for dribbles and fifth for dribble success rate and third for possession, lending some indication as to how Lee Jung-hyo's team likes to play. What skews things a bit, though, is the fact that Gwangju are top for shots from outside the box. Pohang, too, are a possession-based team and sit just behind Gwangju in that regard - 53.7% to Gwangju's 54.7%. They are a tad more direct, though, having dispatched the joint-most number of shots with 312 and are fifth for accuracy with 37.5%. Pohang are head and shoulders above the rest of the division for headed shots and, like Gwangju, score highly for shots from outside the area.

The two teams have met twice already this season with Gwangju winning the most recent encounter 4-2 at home and Pohang winning the last meeting at the Steelyard by a scoreline of 2-0. In total, there have been 24 previous meetings with Pohang winning 16, Gwangju two, and six draws.
