Seven points separate the two sides on the points table.

Vissel Kobe will visit the South Korean side Pohang Steelers on Matchday six of the AFC Champions League Elite. The visitors are currently undefeated in the competition and are at the top of Group A. The Ushi have four wins and a draw in their remarkable campaign.

Despite their incredible season, Vissel Kobe are coming into this one after a draw in their domestic league. In their clash against Kashiwa Reysol, they barely managed to secure a point after Yoshinori Muto scored a goal in the extra time.

Pohang Steelers on the other hand are currently going through a rough patch in the continental tournament and find themselves on the 10th spot. They have accumulated only six points from their opening five matches with two wins and these losses. However, Pohang Steelers were crowned the Korean FA Cup winners in their last game. As a result, players will be in high spirits to go head-to-head with the group leaders.

KickOff:

Pohang Steelers (in all competitions): W-L-L-L-W

Players to watch out for:

Jorge Teixeira (Pohang Steelers)

The 25-year-old forward has been very effective in front of goal for Pohang Steelers this season. He has already contributed to four goals (two goals and two assists) in four appearances for his club in the AFC Champions League Elite. The Brazilian will need to play a crucial role if Pohang Steelers want to get a positive result against the in-form side.

Taisei Miyashiro (Vissel Kobe)

The Japanese international is Vissel Kobe’s top scorer in the ongoing AFC Champions League Elite campaign. He has found the back of the net on four occasions already. He has also scored on 10 occasions in the domestic league.

Considering his season, Miyashiro’s confidence will be at an all-time high. Another great performance will be expected from him against Pohang Steelers.
