Ulsan perform at a high level so far being 1st in the table. Daegu can look both up and down from their 5th position.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Ulsan form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium as Ulsan, who have the most scored goals (42) in K-League 1, have scored 17 goals to get 21 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the K-League 1 are 6-3-1 (wins-draws-losses). Ulsan haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Jeonbuk Motors, 76 days ago.
The spoils were shared in Ulsan's previous game, also at home. Visiting Gwangju (placed 7th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Ulsan won a home game hosting Seoul (3-0).
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Ulsan matches with similar probabilities have ended with six wins, one draw and zero defeats (from seven games).
Ulsan are traveling soon after this match as the K-League 1 match at Jeonbuk Motors awaits in three days.
