Chengdu Rongcheng
Chengdu Rongcheng's defensive unit has shown moments of brilliance, capable of absorbing pressure and launching quick counter-attacks. However, lapses in concentration have cost them points in crucial matches. Their attack, spearheaded by clinical forwards, relies heavily on quick transitions and creative playmaking from their wide players. Injury concerns remain minimal, providing coach Seo Jung-won with a nearly full squad to choose from, allowing for tactical flexibility. Key performer, Romulo, will be essential in dictating play and providing goal-scoring opportunities.Buriram United
