Daejeon vs Pohang Match Analysis
Daejeon (K League 1, 11th place / Lose-Lose-Draw-Lose-Draw)
The recent game flow of Daejeon originates from a lack of finishing power. Although they recorded the opening goals in their last two games, they were reversed in the second half and couldn't maintain the momentum. Pohang shows a strong performance in the second half, and Daejeon often concedes goals in the latter part of the game, causing trouble. In the last two encounters, Daejeon scored first but Pohang caught up, preventing Daejeon from securing a victory.

Pohang (K League 1, 3rd place / Win-Draw-Win-Lose-Win)
Daejeon shows a weak performance against Pohang. Pohang's characteristic is its ability to induce pressure and use space widely when the opponent plays aggressively. Even under the Hwang Sun-hong regime, Daejeon remains attack-focused, and hence has a good compatibility with Pohang. Pohang has recorded an overwhelming record of 11 wins and 4 draws in the last 15 matches against Daejeon.
