Pohang kept Anyang out, but the clean sheet came while conceding 20 shots to eight. Ulsan's recent trip to Gwangju went the other way: three goals scored, four conceded, with both teams creating chances. That makes Ulsan–Pohang a test of what happens after the first attack, not a simple contrast between a clean sheet and a loss. Can Pohang stop repeat entries while finding a way to threaten a side that has also given up chances?
Our provisional match records show Pohang's scoreless draw with Anyang had that 20–8 shot split; against Johor DT, Pohang lost 0–2 with a 9–20 shot split. Ulsan's 3–4 at Gwangju came with 11 shots and 2.35 recorded xG for Ulsan, against 13 shots and 2.30 for Gwangju. The useful watchpoint is whether Ulsan turns its attacking access into sustained pressure, and whether Pohang can use the space that pressure may leave. Those previous games show the question, not its answer.
