Ulsan HD fell behind early in the first round, but stayed undefeated with a 1-1 win in the last period. Today, we are back at home with a slight advantage.

Ulsan HD, coached by renowned Hong Myung-bo, has been playing at a very high level of defense, especially at home, where they have kept a clean sheet in three of their last four matches. The two Korean rivals are evenly matched, and their last four matches have been tight, with a total of two goals or less, with Ulsan HD winning both of their home matches by 1-0 margins.
Jeonbuk Motors also plays hard. In their last five games, 1 win, 4 draws and 2 or fewer total goals. Knocking it down is definitely an easy task. However, Brazilian striker boots Landis Rodigues is still injured. It is expected that neither of them will dare to risk rate offense when coach Peters Ancient guests. Since both teams will prioritize stability, the best thing to do is to take 2.5 goals.
