The 'East Coast Derby' between Pohang Steelers and Ulsan HD, the best rival of K League 1, will embroider the ground.

Pohang will play Ulsan in the 20th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Pohang Steelyard at 6 p.m. on the 30th. It is a watershed moment in the race for the leadership. Gimcheon Sangmu defeated Daegu FC 2-0 in the 20th round, which was played one day earlier on the 29th, and rose back to the lead. There are 39 points.

Ulsan is second with 38 points and Pohang with 34 points is third. If Ulsan wins, the gap with Pohang will widen to seven points. On the other hand, if Pohang laughs, it will be reduced to one point again. Neither team can back down because it is a rivalry game with a score of 6 points.




Pohang has no ups and downs, but coach Hong Myung-bo's Ulsan has a jinx. Ulsan has not lost a single game against Pohang last year with two wins and two draws. In the opening game and the first meeting of this season, Ulsan won 1-0 with Ataru's winning goal.

Pohang coach Park Tae-ha said, `I want to enjoy it, but it's not easy. As you know, it will be physically difficult, and the same goes for the opponent. I hope the rotation leads to a positive result."We have too many draws at home. The players are very disappointed. I'm looking forward to it because it's Ulsan this time and the motivation will be stronger than any other team."

Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo said, `It is true that we are running out of energy. It's an important derby game, so you have to prepare well. Tactically, too. We plan to recover well and prepare for the match against Pohang."




Coach Park takes out a 4-4-2 card. Heo Yong-joon and Lee Ho-jae lead the attack on the front line. Giorgi stands by on the bench. Kim In-sung Han Chan-hee and Auberdan Hong Yoon-sang will be paired in midfield. Wandelsson Jeon Min-gwang Lee Dong-hee and Shin Kwang-hoon are located in Four Back. Hwang In-jae protects the goal.

Coach Hong counters with a 3-5-2 system. While Joo Min-kyu and Kang Yoon-gu are located in the two-top, Kim Min-woo, Ko Seung-beom, Lee Kyu-sung, Ataru Yoon Il-rok line up in midfield. Kim Ki-hee and Kang Min-woo will breathe in the three-back. Kang Min-woo, who made his K-League debut against Daegu, will start for the second consecutive game. Cho Hyun-woo will wear goalie gloves.

Recently, Ulsan has recorded six games (4 wins and 2 draws) in the K League 1 and Pohang has not lost in three consecutive games (1 win and 2 draws).
