These two V-League matches turn on whether a strong stretch becomes a sustained attack. Woori has added middle and outside finishes around Araujo, while KAL still brings the serve and block that beat it in the Cup. Hyundai's stronger Jordan-Mega connection faces a GS side with several scoring outlets. First contact and the finish to close sets should shape both matches.
Woori setter Han Tae-jun now has Ahmadi's quick attack and outside help from Kim Hyung-geun and Kim Dong-min alongside Araujo. Woori closed a tight set against Kepco through different attackers, then carried service and blocking runs through successive sets against OK. KAL answered Woori's Cup comeback with a late block and a useful Jeong Han-yong substitution, but its most recent league loss showed that its own late-set answers can be interrupted.
Kim Ji-han was still reported out with back pain after missing Woori's league wins; the outside replacements played its latest match. Han and Araujo were also active in the recent league reports, while KAL's Han Sun-soo, Im Dong-hyuk and Ketzinski played its latest match. Woori's first contact should determine whether Han can keep the middle involved as the sets tighten. Its newer ways to finish and sustain a run are why I'm siding with Woori to take the match.
Hyundai's Kim Da-in has found more production from Mega and Jordan, and they helped Hyundai win the opening set of its latest match. Targeted serving then disrupted Hyundai's reception, while Bae Yoo-na and Kim Hee-jin supplied little middle scoring or blocking. GS can pressure that passing unit and let Kim Ji-won distribute among Silva, Tanacha, Kwon Min-ji and the middle attackers. Those supporting scorers stayed involved even in GS's loss to IBK, and GS closed tight sets against Hyundai in the Cup.
The Hyundai core played its latest match, as did GS's setter, wings and middle attackers in theirs; no starting lineup for this match has been announced. Hyundai's opening attack can make the early sets close, but GS has more active routes to regain control after a service run. I'm siding with GS Caltex to finish the match decisively.
