Head-to-Head
Jeju beat Pohang 2-1 at home in K-League 1 2026 five weeks ago and have won the last two meetings.
Jeju United
- Jeju United and Pohang Steelers are right next to each other in South Korea's top-half tussle in K-League 1 2026 with Jeju in fifth spot on 34 points from 23 games and Pohang immediately below them on 31.
- Jeju have won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three home games in all competitions.
- Sergio Costa has brought a similar type of tactical versatility to Jeju United since arriving at the club on 24 December 2025 as his side have switched up their shape a few times during games and are both dangerous and compact in transition.
- There is a clear contrast between the way these two play with Jeju looking to control possession with quick combinations, compact defending and a serious set-piece threat, while Pohang are more vertical and direct.
Pohang Steelers
- Jeju United and Pohang Steelers are right next to each other in South Korea's top-half tussle in K-League 1 2026 with Jeju in fifth spot on 34 points from 23 games and Pohang immediately below them on 31.
- The hosts will have a slight edge in this game as the Marines have failed to win on their last two visits to Jeju United, but the visitors are in decent form, so this should be a tight match.
Key Players
-
Key players to watch:
- Negueba has been Jeju's top man in K-League 1 2026 with five goals in 21 appearances, but he has been on fire recently with four of the team's nine goals in the last five matches.
- Ho-Jae Lee has led Pohang's scoring charts with eight goals in 20 games, but Jorge Teixeira has added two of the Marines' five goals in the past five matches to give them a live wire to play off of up top.
Betting Insights
- The hosts look a touch more reliable at this stage, but the odds on them are still short at 2.7 with the visitors 2.75 and the draw at 3.0.
- We think it should be a cagey game, so are taking Under 2.5 goals at 1.55 and Both Teams To Score - No at 1.73.
