K-League All Stars Face a Tough Test
The K-League All Stars is a team of the best players from the K-League in South Korea. They play annual friendlies against some of Europe’s top teams during pre-season.
In six friendlies, the K-League Stars have lost three, drawn once and won twice. Their first-ever victory came in 2023 against Atletico Madrid and a 2024 defeat against Tottenham followed.
The K-League Stars also beat Premier League opponents Newcastle 1-0 in 2025 when Jin-Gyu Kim scored the winning goal.
Man City Carry an Attacking Threat
Man City are in decent form, losing just four of their previous 13 games in all competitions. The Citizens have also scored at least once in 15 consecutive matches.
City went on an 11-match unbeaten run towards the end of the 2025/26 campaign and scored 25 goals. That streak ended with a 2-1 Premier League defeat against Aston Villa, where City had 1.34 XG and 16 shots.
The Manchester team started their new era under Enzo Maresca with a 1-1 friendly draw against Inter Milan. Divin Mubama scored early and City had 2.57 XG before conceding the equaliser.
Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
K-League Stars (4-3-3): Jo Hyeon-woo; Kim Young-gwon, Park Jin-seop, Kim Joo-sung, Kim Tae-hwan; Ki Sung-yeung, Lee Soon-min, Darijan Bojanic; Erick Farias, Cesinha, Bruno Mota
Cesinha scored 12 goals and made 12 assists in the 2025 K-League season. The Brazilian striker is likely to start against Man City.
Man City (4-2-3-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma; Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Joskov Gvardiol, Stephen Mfuni; Mateo Kovacic, Tijjani Reijnders; Savinho, Phil Foden, Antoine Semenyo; Divin Mubama
Midfielder Rodri is unavailable after having back surgery in pre-season.
Striker Erling Haaland and midfielder Elliot Anderson are among six players who have extended rest after the World Cup.
Verdict
Man City can show their class against a K-League All-Stars side that loses a lot of games. The Citizens can notch a high-scoring win in Seoul.
