National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Ulsan or Gyeongju HNP that keep their silverware dream alive.
The hosts Ulsan saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the K-League Classic. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Daegu.
Ulsan form and stats
Last season, Ulsan's Korean Cup journey ended in the 4th round.Ulsan have played 5 K-League Classic games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
A strong away win for Ulsan against Daegu the last match, as Sin Jin-Ho and Junior Negao (2) were on target. Ahead of that match, Ulsan won a home game hosting Incheon United (4-1).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Ulsan, as the K-League Classic home game vs Gangwon is only four days away.
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (10 in 5 games), Ulsan's attacking play is working. Ulsan are not conceding a lot of goals here at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 4 from 5 matches.
Gyeongju HNP form and stats
Gyeongju HNP's mission in Korean Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals.Four points from two away games for Gyeongju HNP, meaning one draw and one victory in the K2-League so far.

A home win before that, celebrating 7-0 vs Yangju Citizen.
As mentioned above, Gyeongju was the only team on the pitch versus Hwaseong in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
