Suwon's territory against Ansan needs to become more than repeated entries to create separation. Pohang and Jeju each have restart routes that can turn one goal into another attacking phase. LG and DB bring a contest between multiple creators and a strong rebounding reply. Across these matches, the key is what follows the first finish.
Suwon can bring Frizzo and Han Chan-hee onto wide balls and loose restarts, while Ansan can answer later through Lima, Kim and Ryu. Suwon's recent shot volume has produced few efforts on target, so sustained control alone does not establish a wide margin. Ansan's recent second half runners give it a way to respond. I'm siding with Ansan to stay close.
Pohang can find Nishiya's delivery to Kim or Jorge, and Jeju can answer through Emerson's restarts or a turnover from Pohang's first pass. Both defenses have recently allowed a second contact after a restart, and Pohang has had little recovery time. Once the first goal changes the shape, the trailing side has a credible reply and another attack can follow. I'm siding with a game that produces several goals.
DB can attack the glass through Hammonds and Williams, with Alvano managing the ball. LG's recent game without Yang still had Goodwin and Marei creating for Yu, Tamayo and Yang Hong-seok. Williams rebounded on his DB debut but was still learning the system, and the extra boards did not bring enough outside scoring against KCC. I expect LG's separate outlets to answer DB's runs, so I'm siding with the Sakers to win.
