Ansan Greeners and Cheongju meet in K League 2 with both sides still needing points to climb out of the lower reaches of the table. Ansan sit 15th, while Cheongju are 12th, not far apart, so this is a match where both teams want a positive result just as much. Ansan have just come through their last five games with four defeats, and their most recent outing was a 0-2 loss at home. Their attack has been blunt throughout. Cheongju, meanwhile, won their last game 1-0, but the overall picture is a team that draws a lot and is harder to beat than their opponents. Their defence is sturdy enough not to let games slip away easily. The pattern of play is likely to see Cheongju with more possession and gradually pushing forward, while Ansan sit back and wait for counter-attacking chances. The thing to watch from kick-off is how long Ansan can cope with Cheongju's patient attacking. If they hold up, the game has a chance of ending without defeat.
