Pohang and Gwangju are set to play in the 14th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Pohang Steelyard on the 18th.
It is a showdown between the two teams aiming to leap to the top. Pohang (19 points) and Gwangju (19 points), which are ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, have to take three points to narrow the gap with the top ranks. Victory is needed because the gap with teams in pursuit, such as Gangwon (18 points) in seventh place and Anyang (17 points), in eighth place, is not large. Pohang won the first showdown of this season with a score of 3 to 2, and Pohang also dominated with 2 wins and 1 loss in three face-to-face encounters last season.
After six undefeated matches, Pohang, the home team, lost 1-2 against Jeju, breaking the flow, and there is a deviation in performance every game. It was a disappointing performance to rise with two wins, one draw and two losses in the last five league games. The biggest problem is injury. Pohang has recently left even Auberdan due to injury, continuing problems due to the injury gap this season. In order to change the atmosphere, he sat in front of the difficult task of solving the injury gap and maintaining his performance at the same time.
Gwangju, the away team, has a similar trend. Gwangju, which had been undefeated at the beginning of the season and rose to second place, has only won and lost two games in the last five games. Since the 0-7 defeat in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE), the team has been sluggish with one win, one draw and two losses in four official matches. Victory is desperate for the top-ranked competition.
Pohang coach Park Tae-ha pulled out a 4-4-2 formation. Lee Ho-jae and Cho Sang-hyuk will be built on the two-top, and Giorgi, Shin Kwang-hoon, Kim Dong-jin, and Juningyo will build the midfield. There are Lee Tae-seok, Han Hyun-seo, Jeon Min-gwang, and Eo Jeong-won. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Hwang In-jae.
Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo will face off in a 4-3-3 formation. Asani, Gabriel, Jung Ji-hoon, and Hayes, Park Tae-joon and Lee Kang-hyun will be on the front line. The defense is composed of Kim Jin-ho, Jin Si-woo, and Byun Jun-su. Kim Kyung-min protects the goal.
