Ulsan are currently facing challenging times. The team finished only 9th in the standings last season (despite being in the Top 5 after the first round), and they clearly need to make progress. In their last five matches, they have not secured a win: three losses and two draws.
The difficult situation is further highlighted by a trend of low scoring - the club has scored fewer than 1.5 goals in each of their last 11 games. The number of goals conceded is also concerning - 1.3 per match, while their average scoring rate is just 0.5 goals per game. Perhaps the new arrivals who joined the organization in the off-season can elevate them to a higher level.

Gangwon Team Overview
The away team played their last official match on as part of the AFC Champions League tournament (home team - Melbourne City, away - Gangwon). The match concluded with a scoreline of 0:0.
Here are the match stats (Gangwon vs Melbourne City):

- corner kicks: 3 vs 4;
- fouls: 12 vs 10;
- yellow cards: 1 vs 1;
- shots on target: 1 vs 4.
Gangwon wrapped up last year in fifth place on the league table, thanks to their relatively stable performance. Even though the team secured only two wins in their last ten matches, they managed to draw five times, which kept them in the top six.
On average, Gangwon score about 0.8 goals per game and concede just over one goal (1.1). This paints the picture of a typical Korean franchise focused on defense and quick counterattacks, but clearly lacking creativity in attack-much like most participants in the K-League 1. However, their last head-to-head encounter with these opponents was quite a spectacle, ending in a 2-2 draw.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and the stats from their past encounters, we can anticipate a cautious game focused on defense from both sides. Both teams showed low scoring efficiency last season, and it's unlikely that this will change significantly now, as the revamped squads need time to establish reliable connections on the field. We expect plenty of technical errors in attack and minimal goal-scoring opportunities. Therefore, we recommend placing a bet on both teams to score (no).
