The list of starters was released before the game. For the home team Incheon, Mugosa, Park Seung-ho, Gerson, Iker, Seo Jae-min, Oh Soo-sung, Kim Myung-soon, Kim Gun-hee, Juan Ibiza, Lee Ju-yong and Kim Dong-heon will start.

The away team Seoul will feature Klimala, Andersson, Cho Young-wook, Son Jung-beom, Babets, Song Min-gyu, Choi Joon, Park Sung-hoon, Ross, Kim Jin-soo and Koo Sung-yoon. Kang Hyun-moo, Park Soo-il, Lee Han-do, Lee Seung-mo, Hwang Do-yoon, Moon Sun-min, Jung Seung-won, Bato, and Whoise start on the bench.

Incheon topped the K League 2 last season with an overwhelming performance. He accumulated points from the beginning of the season and won the championship battle against Suwon Samsung to confirm his return to the K League 1 stage for the first time in a year. Mugosa, Gervo, and Park Seung-ho led the team's attack and succeeded in direct promotion.

The home team, Incheon, is returning to the top division. He won the K League 2 last season after a fierce competition with Suwon Samsung, resulting in direct promotion. With Mugosa, Gerson, and Park Seung-ho, who led the attack at the time, in good shape, Seo Jae-min, Oh Ho-sung, Jung Tae-wook, politicians, Iker, and Ferrier were recruited through the winter transfer market to complete the all-round reinforcement of their power. In particular, he recruited K-League legend Lee Chung-yong to take leadership inside and outside the ground.

The away team Seoul is aiming for "Seoul's Spring," leaving behind the disappointing report card of sixth place last season. During the winter transfer market, all-out efforts were made to eliminate weaknesses. Goalkeeper Koo Sung-yoon and defender Ross were recruited to lock the rear firmly, and he re-signed with Yazan, a key resource, to maintain the organization of the defensive line.

He also harbored third-line midfielder Babets and "Crack" Song Min-gyu, who will add destructive power to the side. In front, Huiz, who showed off a sharp scoring sense at Seongnam FC last season, was deployed to maximize firepower.

Attention is focusing on who will win the first "Gyeongin Derby" of the 2026 season in Seoul, which is more sharp with Incheon, who returned.
