NextGOAL tip: Busan I'Park -0.25 · 3 stars
Paju Citizen and Busan I'Park meet at a moment when their situations are clearly different. The hosts just closed out their last match with a 2-0 win, while the visitors just lost 0-1 and are still stuck with that. Paju Citizen have picked up wins only sporadically all season: 8 won, 5 drawn, 12 lost, scoring 24 and conceding 28 in 25 matches. But at home they have failed to score in as many as 7 of 12 matches, while Busan I'Park sit 6th with 41 points from 26 matches and have scored as many as 41 goals. In their away games, both teams scored in 9 of 13 matches. After kickoff, the first thing to watch is how quickly Busan I'Park can dominate the ball and attack the hosts, who sit deep at home, because the hosts' pattern at home is usually to wait for the counter rather than open up and trade blows themselves.
