On Wednesday morning, Ulsan Hyundai host Daegu FC at the Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, as the home side looks to maintain their lead at the top of the K-League.
Ulsan have made a good start to their K-League campaign and are currently two points clear at the top of the table. The home side has won eight of their last ten matches in the South Korean top-flight, including four of their last five outings.
A key to Ulsan’s recent good league form has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in four of their last five league matches.
Ulsan have a strong recent home record in the K-League, winning five of their last six matches on home soil. They have also been prolific on home soil in the league of late, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six home outings.
Daegu are currently fourth-place in the K-League 1 table but could move to within three points of the league leaders with a victory in this encounter.
The visitors have not been ultra-consistent of late, but have been hard to beat in the South Korean top-flight. Last time out in the league, the visitors drew 0-0 at home against Suwon Bluewings.
Their recent matches in the South Korean top-flight have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight outings.
Daegu’s recent away record in the K-League is the definition of inconsistent, as the visitors have won two, drawn two and lost two of their last six league games on their travels. They do have a decent defensive record of late in the K-League, as Daegu have kept clean sheets in three of their last four matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Ulsan will come out on top in a high-scoring encounter to maintain their position at the top of the table.
