Team Analysis
With Suwon Samsung's relegation last season, Suwon FC has now become the dominant team in the city. Despite being in the K League for less than six years, Suwon FC has firmly established itself in the top league. Unlike other K League teams that rely mainly on domestic players, Suwon FC is predominantly composed of foreign players. Currently, the team is led by Brazilian forward Oliveira. Additionally, domestic players such as Lee Sang-yu, Lee Rong, and Jang Hyun-soo are also national team-caliber players. After achieving two consecutive victories recently, Suwon FC has started to find its form.

As for Seoul FC, they are undoubtedly one of the most anticipated teams in the K League this season. This is because they acquired former England international "Prince of Lin" Jesse Lingard, making him the highest-paid player in K League history. Seoul FC has become one of the contenders for the league title this season. However, Lingard's arrival has not completely changed their fortunes. Seoul FC's coach even complained about Lingard's lazy performance and attitude on the field. So far, after nine rounds of the league, Seoul FC has only secured two victories, with no wins away from home. Therefore, Coach Rou believes that Seoul FC still needs further adjustment.

Odds Analysis
According to real-time game data, Seoul FC is given a 0.25-goal handicap, indicating recognition of their strength. Coach Rou believes that considering Suwon FC's recent excellent performance and Seoul FC's struggles away from home, the handicap for Suwon FC seems quite favorable. Suwon FC has home advantage, and their recent performances in all aspects have been more stable than Seoul FC's. However, the pre-game data did not provide enough caution for the home team. Coach Rou also considered the historical encounters between the two teams. In the past eight league matches at Suwon FC's home ground against Seoul FC, Suwon FC has only won once. Clearly, this historical disadvantage may affect Suwon FC. In this match, I believe Seoul FC has the potential to win based on the supported data.

Pick: FC Seoul
