Ulsan and Jeonbuk Motors are both doing (very) nicely in the K-League 1 with their 1st and 2nd places respectively. This could be a top match!
- Ulsan is in the best form (5-1-0)
- Jeonbuk Motors have the most scored goals (50) in K-League 1
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Ulsan form and stats
Ulsan have performed here at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium this season with 9 wins from 14 K-League 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 1. After failing to beat Suwon here at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, Ulsan has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Ulsan's previous game was a K-League 1 match also played at home, ending 3-2 versus Incheon United (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. Kee-hee Kim was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.34 out of 10. The defender Kim won 3 of 5 duels. Manager M. Hong felt very clever after Dong-gyeong Lee scored the winning goal against Incheon United, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 63rd minute.
Before that match, a win away at Seoul.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Ulsan have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found two matches with the results: Won one, drawn one and lost zero.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Ulsan as they have a new game in only four days, a AFC Champions League match thankfully also at home. Kawasaki Frontale are visiting.
Goals decide football matches and Ulsan are scoring many of them at home; 29 on target from 14 league matches. Ulsan have conceded 16 in these home matches.
Jeonbuk Motors form and stats
Playing away, Jeonbuk Motors, who have the most scored goals (50) in K-League 1, have won 5 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats in the K-League 1 this season.
It's the second away game in a row for Jeonbuk Motors, but there's smiles all around after the 4-3 victory versus Seoul (placed 12th) in the K-League 1 last time out. Takahiro Kunimoto got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, top player of the team. Kunimoto scored one goal and hit one key pass. An off the wall game with an abundance of goals last time out for Jeonbuk, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that game, will this match be as full of joy? Late drama in the previous game, when Jeong-ho Hong scored the winning goal four minutes into stoppage time to defeat Seoul.
A 0-1 loss hosting Pohang Steelers before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Jeonbuk Motors in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Jeonbuk, one draw and two defeats.
