Game week two of the National League season and the participants have learned from the first game. Here's the ultimate Daejeon Korail - Ulsan Citize pre-match guide:
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.
Daejeon Korail form and stats
The season before, Daejeon Korail's league stats were 8 wins, 12 draws and 8 losses, producing 9th position in the National League. From these 28 matches they scored 32 goals and gave away 30. Appearing at home in the previous season Daejeon Korail managed 5-6-3 (win-draw-lost) with 16 goals and 11 conceded.
Daejeon Korail faced defeat in their previous match, away at Pocheon (0-2).
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 Daejeon have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won six, drawn three and lost two.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Daejeon Korail as they have a new game in only four days, a FA Cup match thankfully also at home. Cheonan City are visiting.
