❶ Key Analysis
● Pohang (South Korea 1st Division 3rd place / D-D-W-L-W)
Recently, other than winning 1-0 against Gwangju, there haven't been victories. Nevertheless, the fact that Pohang is still a strong contender against Ulsan remains valid. Especially against Daejeon, they generally held an advantage in matchups. Daejeon is expected to continue their offensive play, but Pohang has always shown dominance against teams like Gwangju and Daejeon. This is particularly true as they are a team that maintains their defensive lines and intervals well, making them very likely to benefit from a simple playing situation.
- Absentees: Kim Jong-woo (CM / A-level), Zorzhi (FW / A-level) ➤ Total team strength reduced by -10%
● Daejeon (South Korea 1st Division 11th place / D-D-L-L-W)
The appointment of coach Hwang Sun-hong has been a hot topic. Daejeon fans are particularly uneasy because his tactical prowess shown with the Olympic and national teams as interim coach was not impressive. In fact, during his previous tenure at Daejeon, he often showed a lack of concentration after scoring a goal, frequently opting for a defensive strategy, and sometimes suffered counterattacks when opting for an offensive strategy. It’s no surprise if Daejeon continues to struggle against Pohang.
