Pohang Steelers Draw no Bet
Pohang Steelers have been making decent early strides in the opening weeks of the new K-League campaign and on Saturday, they have a chance to win their fourth game in five fixtures in all competitions when they face Gwangju. This weekend’s hosts have gone four games without a win on home soil, while they have also lost five of their last six encounters with Pohang Steelers. That record is difficult to dismiss, so side with the visitors here in the draw no bet stakes.
Both Teams to Score – No
Goalscoring has been a major problem for Gwangju at home of late and they have failed to notch completely in each of their last four matches on home turf. Pohang Steelers meanwhile, have been doing some excellent defensive work and this weekend, they will be hunting down their fourth clean sheet on the spin in league and cup. With those factors aligned, the second of today’s Gwangju vs Pohang Steelers recommends a wager on both teams not to score.

Read all of the latest injury updates, Gwangju vs Pohang Steelers lineups and team news for Saturday’s K-League battle below. If you’re looking for more of the best football betting tips today, make sure to follow the link.
Gwangju
Gwangju won 2-0 at Suwon City in their last match, though they have gone four games without tasting victory at home. They were deployed in a 4-4-2 formation against Suwon, so expect to see a similar set-up on Saturday. Brazilian attacker Thomas Bedinelli is still searching for his first goal of the campaign.
Predicted Lineup for Gwangju: Kyeong-Min – Hyeon-Seok, Letschert, Young-Kyu, Lee Min-Gi – Asani, Ho-Yeon, Soon-Min, Ji-hun – Bedinelli, Hui-Gyun
Pohang Steelers
Pohang Steelers tend to favour a 4-2-3-1 shape in their fixtures and they could be deployed in that formation again on Saturday. Lee Ho-Jae will be pushing to start having come off the bench again in Steelers' 1-0 win over Jeonbuk Motors last time out.
Predicted Lineup for Pohang Steelers: In-Jae – Seung-Wook, Chang-Rae, Grant, Sang-Min – Oberdan, Seung-mo, Seung-Dae, Young-Jun, Sung-Dong – Zeca
Player to Watch – Alexander Grant
Australian defender Alexander Grant has been impactful at both ends of the pitch for Pohang Steelers this season. Alongside putting in some decent shifts at the back, the 29-year-old has made his mark further forward, netting two goals in 12 appearances so far.
The former Perth Glory star scored just twice in each of his last two seasons for Pohang, so he is already on his way to topping his best campaign for goals in 2023. Grant has never represented Australia at international level, despite being involved in some underage squads earlier in his career.
