Suwon Samsung, which hurriedly played 'Operation Moving' during the K-League break, will play its first home game at Mir Stadium in Yongin, its temporary home stadium. The opponent is FC Anyang, the leading player in the league. A match between two teams is traditionally called 'supporting derby'. It is the first 'supporting derby' on the new stage.

K League 2 Suwon will play a home game in the 26th round of 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' at 7:30 p.m. on the 12th at Mir Stadium in Yongin. Suwon is currently fifth in the league (34 points). It is in a relatively good mood with nine undefeated league games (3 wins and 6 draws). You can go up to a higher position enough. Although the opponent is the No. 1 in the league, Suwon won the first face-off in April by 3-1.

Originally, Suwon's home stadium is the Suwon World Cup Stadium. However, after the grass ground construction, it was no longer possible to play. Suwon urgently moved in during the two-week break. While preparing a secretariat at the new home stadium, the bench used at the Suwon World Cup Stadium was moved to maintain the players' concentration on the game. Yongin City also made efforts to adjust the interval between light rail deployments and actively cooperate with traffic control. Suwon will have to play the rest of this year at Mir Stadium in Yongin. If the team is successfully promoted to the K League 1, Mir Stadium could become a "holy place for revival".

Suwon manager Byun Sung-hwan continued his unbeaten trend and activated his core power to win his first game at the 'new home stadium' which he had prepared as a temporary residence. Coach Byun said, `The key to the game is to get the first run in the first half.' Milat and Kim Ji-ho were placed on the left and right, centering on Mulich at the front line. Paulino and Hong Won-jin and Lee Jae-wook organized a triangular midfield in the second line. Four-back is Lee Ki-je, Jang Seok-hwan, Han Ho-gang, Lee Si-young. Park Ji-min, the keeper of the goal, was in charge of the goal.

In response, Anyang operated a starting lineup that gave points in the second half rather than the first half. Like Suwon, 4-3-3 formation. Kim Dong-jin, Kim Un Ya-chi was deployed earlier. Choi Kyu-hyun and Matheus Kim Jung-hyun are the midfielders. Four hundred is Kim Min-ho, Kim Young-chan, Lee Chang-yong, and Lee Tae-hee. Kim Da-sol keeper started.
