Ulsan HD, debuting in the Korean Professional League, faced second-placed Jeonbuk Motors in their hometown. The team has been particularly good at home, often on the attack, with 5 wins and 2 draws in their last 7 home matches, and 6 matches where they have scored over the 3 goal mark. Jeonbuk Motors, despite repeated defeats, has always had the power to turn the tide against the wind, and the number of goals scored in recent matches has been concentrated at around 2.5 goals, so tonight's match may witness another goal battle. (Highlights of the match on myTV SUPER Saturday at 3:30 p.m.)
Ulsan HD has won the league title for the second consecutive season and is currently only one point behind POSCO. In order to keep the title, the team will need to be aggressive in the rest of the season. Ulsan HD has a solid home record despite their recent slump, winning only one game in the league. In their last five league games at home, they won four and drew one, including a 4-1 win over Daejeon Citizen. In today's traditional matchup with Jeonbuk Motors, it will be interesting to see if Ulsan HD can pull off another home victory.
Jeonbuk Motors won the Korean championship five times between 2017 and 2021, and although they finished second last season, they have not performed as well this season, currently sitting at the bottom of the league. However, Jeonbuk Motors has always been able to play consistently against tough opponents, as evidenced by the 2-2 draw with Ulsan HD at the end of March. Tonight, Jeonbuk Motors will not be afraid to go all out against their old rivals and try to put on another goal feast.
