Ulsan:
After 14 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, the home team is currently in 1st position, with 45 points won. In their last match, they beat Seoul at home by (3‑0), after having won (1‑2) away in the previous match, in a match against Seongnam. This is a team that curiously has been stronger as a visitor than in their home games, since in the last 30 games they have registered 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss as a visitor; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In their last 9 home games for the championship, Ulsan won 6, drew 2 and lost 1, for which they have won 20 points out of 27 possible.
For this competition, they did not lose any of the last 5 matches at their stadium. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half ‑ time was 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). His attack has scored regularly, since he has scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 18 games played in this competition, he got the comeback in 2 of the 5 games in which he suffered the first goal. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76’ ‑ 90 ‘).
The question is: who will stop Ulsan? It is very difficult to answer that, since the team is at odds with the others. The football he is playing is of a high level and it is no coincidence that he leads the championship. As he has regularity, he is undoubtedly the favorite to win on this day. So, showing the same commitment from previous games, you can win without major problems.
Gwangju :
The visiting team is currently in 7th position, with 20 points won, after 5 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses. In the penultimate match, they drew at home against Seoul by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in an away match against Daegu by (4‑6). This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses as a visitor, with 21 goals scored and 22 suffered; against 5 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats in their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 23 suffered. For the championship, Gwangju won 11 points out of a possible 27, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in the last 9 away games. In their away league matches the most frequent final result at half ‑ time was 0‑0 (5 out of 9 matches). Their defense has not been very solid, since they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches for this competition there is a tendency to have few goals, since 5 of the last 9 they played ended with Under 1.5 goals. This is a team that tends to score few times first: it only opened the scoring in 4 of its last 18 games for the K League, of these 4 it reached the break with an advantage in 1 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 2. In 18 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 11 times and only managed 3 comebacks.
The Gwangju campaign is normal, but in recent days it is growing. They have been without a defeat for five games and, in the last match, they achieved an interesting 6×4 victory away from home. He certainly wants to keep the momentum going and will fight hard for it, but he acknowledges that it will be hard to avoid stumbling in this match. In front of the leader and in his stadium, only with a perfect performance will he have any chance to surprise and score.
