Ulsan Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the K-League tournament (home team - Pohang, away team - Ulsan ). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:2.
Here's the game statistics (Ulsan vs Pohang):
- ball possession: 48% vs 52%;

Last week they managed to get past Pohang (2:0). The team has been consistently solid defensively. And the fact that the side has conceded 30 goals in 22 matches is not something to dwell on. Against an opponent who has clearly been struggling of late, Ulsan can keep things tight at the back. And, while not overwhelming, still create some decent chances going forward.

They suffered a defeat in the AFC Champions League, losing to Gamba Osaka (0:1). Before that, they lost to Bucheon (0:3) and Anyang (1:2). Overall, Gangwon are more of a defensive side. In 21 matches they have managed to score just 25 goals. But their defence deserves particular praise - 17 conceded in the same period, less than one per match. Against one of the leaders of Korean football, they will have to operate in a defensive manner. Nobody is planning to push forward in numbers.

⭐ Editor's Pick
In this match, the guests' defensive skills could come to the fore. Yes, Ulsan have been good lately. The statistics are also on their side. But in every match a lot depends on the specific nature of both teams. And Gangwon, who are going through a difficult spell, will prefer a more closed style of play - with all that entails. Our editors expect a minimum of dangerous moments. Goals may come. But not in abundance. We're playing the bet on total under 2.5 goals.
