Both teams were busy on their way. Seoul, which has been on the "restoration of honor" this season, has hardly rebounded. In particular, he has only one draw and one loss in the last two games. Above all, the performance was not good. He lost four goals and eight runs. Against this, Ulsan was ranked eighth. Due to tight schedules such as the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025, he failed to use his strength in the league.
Ahead of the game, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said, `Ulsan has a good player. There is no team that can be considered a pushover just because it is a lower team. I don't think we need to be scared just because we're a good team. When you play, the flow comes out. I might be in a good condition that day. There may be some flow in the tactical area, and I think that would be a more important point. " Ulsan coach Shin Tae-yong said, `Seoul is also busy. I didn't know there were so many injured players. I didn't know about the other team because I was in a hurry about how our team worked. It felt like Seoul was also struggling to set up a team as a temporary measure. I'm sorry to coach Kim Ki-dong, but I personally think that if we make it a little better, we can bring good results again."
