● Ulsan (K League 1, South Korea 3rd / Win-Win-Loss-Loss-Win)
Ulsan defeated Daegu 1-0. Kim Pan-gon's first outing ended in victory. Although they allowed many shots from Daegu and it's still a process to improve the team's condition under coach Kim Pan-gon, it was somewhat disappointing that there were no goals scored apart from an own goal. However, the fact that they succeeded in breaking through without consistently relying on a U-shaped buildup against the opponent's low line is considered a significant achievement.

⦁ Suwon FC (K League 1, South Korea 5th / Win-Draw-Win-Loss-Loss)
It has now become difficult to trust Suwon FC's attacking power. Even though Lee Young-jun and Lee Seung-woo left the team during the transfer market, they did not acquire a foreign striker. As a result, in the last match, they even utilized tall center-back Choi Kyu-baek as a striker, but he did not show advantages beyond his aerial ability as he is not a specialist striker. Ultimately, coach Kim Eun-jung lamented that "it's difficult without a striker."

➍ Match Outlook & Recommended Bets
Expecting an under (2.5) outcome and a Ulsan victory. Currently, I believe Ulsan has not yet solidified their performance under Kim Pan-gon. However, considering that they succeeded in breaking through the opponent's low line and that Suwon FC's current striker depth is broken, Ulsan is expected to gain an advantage even in a low-scoring situation.
