Suwon's possession against Ansan should be judged by the receiving positions it produces. Ulsan and Gangwon both have useful routes through wide connections and the next ball in the box. Pohang and Jeju look set for a closer contest shaped by short transitions and restarts.
Suwon have created decisive attacks through recoveries and deliveries, but their scoreless Asan match showed how possession can stall before becoming accurate shooting. Ansan retain Lima as a forward reference and have used Kim In-sung and Ryu Seung-wan to add passing and running later. Their official preview again identifies those second-half options.
Frizzo had already returned and played in Suwon's previous match, so his availability is included in the comparison. Yeon Je-min remains doubtful for Ansan after missing the previous squad, without a confirmed current exclusion. I expect Suwon to build pressure and Ansan's later attacking group to provide an outlet into the spaces behind it. I'm siding with Ansan Greeners to keep the margin close, allowing for a narrow Suwon win.
Ulsan can connect Lee Dong-gyeong to Yago and the supporting runners, then continue through free kicks, corners and rebounds. Gangwon's Kim Dae-won supplied Kang Joon-hyuk at Seoul, and Kang supplied Choi Byeong-chan against Kuching. Those surviving links meet areas of wide coverage that Ulsan's recent opponents have reached.
Gangwon used much of that group in their recent continental match, while Ulsan have had a longer preparation interval. Hwang was absent from Gangwon's latest squad; the goal against Kuching came through the remaining Kang–Choi connection. Mo was on the bench without a recorded appearance, so I have not assumed a full contribution from him. I expect early visiting pressure and continuing Ulsan deliveries as the match develops. I'm backing goals between Ulsan HD and Gangwon.
Pohang's short attacking route is more useful here than their recent continental blanks suggest. Jorge's recovery and switch found Wanderson at Ulsan, while Nishiya supplied a separate corner goal. Jeju conceded headed restarts at Jeonbuk and a clearance follow-up at Incheon, creating a relevant target for those routes.
Jang Min-kyu has left Jeju for military service and was absent from the latest squad. Italo also missed that squad and remains doubtful, while Pohang's Jorge, Wanderson and Nishiya all started at Kashima. I expect selective Pohang pressure to produce brief attacking passages and restarts rather than long territorial dominance. That's why I'm siding with Pohang, with a level finish leaving that part of the combination neutral.
