The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Ulsan have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won seven times, drawn five and lost two.

The visitors are W5-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the K-League 1.

The manager K. Park was unhappy after their last game, a K-League 1 match played at their home ground Suwon World Cup Stadium. Bluewings suffered a 1-2 loss to Seongnam (placed 10th). Hyeong-mo Yang was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.32. The agile goalkeeper Yang stopped the opponent with seven saves. It's a bit worrying for Bluewings that their goalkeeper Hyeong-mo Yang made seven saves in the Seongnam game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
