**Pohang's steadiness meets Jeju's freefall** — two K League sides headed in opposite directions collide on a tense Sunday in the title run-in. 🏟️

Pohang are grinding out results (three draws in five), while Jeju have hit a rough patch with just one win in their last five. That H2H record is a coin flip — **Pohang lead 20-22 overall** — but form usually wins these battles.

Key storylines:

- **Pohang's midfield solidity** with D. Kim and K. Nishiya anchoring possession against a Jeju side leaking goals
- **Jeju's attack needs spark** — Italo and Emerson Ramon are their creative lifeline in a team that's conceded 8 in five games
- **J. Rocha and H. M. Jung** spearheading Pohang's press; if they stay disciplined, they'll control the tempo

Expected lineups:

- **Pohang Steelers**: P. Yun, Wanderson, M. Jeon, K. Shin, D. Kim, K. Nishiya, S. Kim, H. M. Jung, J. Rocha
- **Jeju SK**: D. J. Kim, W. Jeong, J. Kim, J. Celestine, I. Yu, S. Park, Italo, C. Byung-Wook, K. Shin-jin, Emerson Ramon

Prediction:

**Pohang 2–0 Jeju**. Jeju's defensive woes meet Pohang's patience. Edge to the home side. ⚪
