And now they're back again ladies and gentlemen! A classic matchup between the Pohang Steelers and Suwon FC. It's akin to watching a chess match. Their past skirmishes have been nail-biters with an elegant blend of draws and a slender victory sneaking in for Suwon FC back in May.
Pohang are on a better footing with a couple of more draw points under their belt over Suwon in the regular season. But then again, they're both consistent in their inconsistencies, ain't they? Both teams holding on to 14 wins, it’s mostly the losses column where Pohang holds a slightly better record. Like I always say, it's better to be drawn in confusion than lose with certainty.
Looking at Suwon’s recent games, they seem to be on a rollercoaster ride without the fun. A draw, two painful losses and then bam! A stark humiliation from Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors. That's a rocky road if I saw one.
However, if you look at the Pohang Steelers - it's another story. Apart from a hiccup against Gwangju and Ulsan, they've demonstrated commendable steeliness with tightly-knitted victories over Incheon and Gangwon.
So, if you’re asking me who will pull off a win here and you absolutely cannot live without an answer… my crystal ball is showing a higher probability leaning towards Pohang, by a slim margin at that. I’d just as likely toss a coin but hey, you’re not paying me to be indecisive.
