Personal Analysis: Ulsan Hyundai's offensive and defensive capabilities are relatively balanced. The offensive end mainly relies on several foreign players and left winger Li Qinglong. The team is good at playing high-position pressing tactics, especially Farias in the center position. He is very good at creating opportunities in the frontcourt. He is also the main end point of the team. Li Qinglong on the left and Ludwigsen on the left are both good in advancing and passing and shooting. Although Li Qinglong is older, his basic ability to play against Han K is good. In high-speed counterattacks, he cooperates well with his teammates. Yan Yuanxiang on the right is a ball-holding point for positional warfare offense, and his breakthrough ability is relatively average. The attacking midfielders Bojanic and Lacava are both quite capable, but the latter is too sticky to the ball and has a high rate of conceding goals as his physical confrontation is his weakness. The team's back line does a good job in retreating speed and defending the flanks, but their high aerial balls and two-point protection in the area in front of the goal are average. Most of the players in Mamelodi Sundowns are from the local league. They have relatively good physical fitness but their skills are a bit rough. Center forward Reinas is the team's main finishing point. His speed and explosiveness are relatively good, but his shooting stability is relatively poor, especially when he is closely guarded. His breakthrough ability is not strong. Matthews and Ribeiro on the two wingers are players with good passing and shooting and offensive organization abilities, especially in mobile warfare. Ribeiro's vision and ball distribution ability are good. Matthews on the left and full-back Mapusa cooperate well on the wing. Allende in the midfield is the main ball holder in the midfield and frontcourt. He has good personal comprehensive ability. The back line has certain problems in retreat speed and personnel defense, especially the weak ability to compete for headers in front of the goal. The previous loss of the final of the non-Champions League was mainly caused by this reason.

The overall strength gap between Ulsan Hyundai and Mamelodi Sundowns is relatively small. Both teams are wing-attack teams, and both play with the center as the main finishing point. In this case, the two teams have to compete more in defense and counterattack capabilities. Ulsan Hyundai may be better in terms of retreat speed and high-speed pass and connection success rate. In this game, Ulsan Hyundai's 0.25 goal conceded is a bit low. The two teams are somewhat similar in terms of on-field play, but Ulsan Hyundai is more or less stronger in high-pressure pressing and back-line defense. The data of this game supports Mamelodi Sundowns too much. Lao Li believes that Ulsan Hyundai's chances of being unbeaten in this game are relatively high, and the score is expected to be 1-1 or 2-1.
