Seoul take on the visitors Pohang in the round 25 match of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Friday, August 4th at Seoul World Cup Stadium (Seoul).
After a short break, the South Korean championship returns. This pause should benefit Seoul, which currently sits in third place in the table. The unexpected 0-1 defeat to Incheon United in the last round can be considered an exception. Typically, Seoul performs well at home and is productive in terms of goals. Before the match with Incheon, their matches, known as the Dragons, were entertaining and rich in goals: a 1-2 defeat to Jeonbuk Motors, a 7-2 victory against Suwon FC, and a 1-1 draw with Gangwon.

Matches involving Pohang Steelers in the current season, both in general and recently, have also been lively in terms of goals. The Steelers demonstrate excellent football and are the main contenders chasing the table-toppers, Ulsan, currently occupying the second position. Pohang scores a lot of goals and has not kept a clean sheet in their last five matches, exchanging precise shots with their opponents in four matches: a 2-1 win over Jeonbuk Motors, a 3-1 victory against Suwon FC, a 4-2 result against Jeju United, and a 1-1 draw with Suwon Bluewings. From the upcoming match involving the Steelers, we can expect both teams to score.
Considering all the mentioned points, I opt for the Both Teams to Score bet. In the 24 rounds of the league in the current season, both teams have conceded 27 goals each, with an average of more than one ball ending up in the net for each team per game. Scoring goals is not a problem for both opponents either: Seoul has scored 41 goals in these 24 matches, while Pohang has netted 36. In the last four rounds of the championship, both Seoul and Pohang played three times with goals from both sides. Goal exchanges also occurred in the previous three encounters between these teams. In the current season, the Dragons and the Steelers shared the spoils twice in the K-League with identical 1-1 scores. I expect at least one precise shot from each side now.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
