Incheon's forward passing and aerial targets meet Jeju's screening and second-ball problems. This should be a contest of useful entries rather than possession for its own sake. In Ulsan, central combinations and attacking restarts provide a separate test for Pohang's ability to turn defensive escapes into sustained attacks.
Incheon have reached Mugosa through direct passes, recoveries and wide penetration. Jeju conceded headed goals from separate restarts against Jeonbuk, adding to the opponent-specific evidence of Incheon's corner threat. Jeju's current official preview confirms Italo's injury absence and Jang Min-gyu's military absence; neither played the previous match. Incheon's main defensive and attacking roles were present in their last starting group. I expect the home side to seek an early advantage before committing more bodies later, and I'm siding with Incheon with a return on a level finish.
Ulsan's Lee Dong-gyeong and Yago offer a passing-and-finishing connection, with Lee's restart delivery creating another route. Pohang managed only eight shots and two on target against Anyang, showing how difficult the next pass after an escape has become. Sim Sang-min also missed Ulsan's previous squad, with Cho Hyun-taek already used on the left, so this is continuity rather than a fresh defensive loss. Ulsan's demonstrated switch to a back four gives them a way to add attacking support after the interval. That's why I'm siding with Ulsan to win.
