Jeonbuk Hyundai vs Ulsan HD Prediction: This May Be The Last League Hyundai Derby In A While

Matchday 24 of the Korean elite league draw pitches Jeonbuk Hyundai against Ulsan, proponents of one of the most deadly derbies of the league, the Hyundai. Jeonbuk’s current deposition in the league reigns scepticism on their potential to emerge as the stronger contender of this clash, staying in the relegation-threat region of the table. Ulsan, the visitors keep their title hopes alive in the event of a victory, anticipating the killing of two birds with one stone.

Recent Form: L-W-D-L-D

Formation: 4-4-2

The Green Warriors were ambushed at Sangju City last week, wholly cornered in the pitch display against Gimcheon’s Bulsajo, who swiftly brought them to their knees in the 4-0 turret clash far from their comfort zone. They have accrued two losses in the five recent games, two stalemates and one win.

Reports from the Jeonju grounds propitiates weak performance on their home soil, with one win, one loss and two stalemates. Also, Ulsan’s last two visits to their grounds resulted in two stalemates, with a 1-1 and a 2-2 scoreline registered.

The player in the spotlight here is Guk-Yeon Han, who is expected to be instrumental with his long balls into Ulsan’s defence lines from the midfield.

Formation: 4-3-3

The Tigers of Ulsan are surprisingly in second place, finally picking up the long-awaited victory last week against Seoul Cheetahs in the close 1-0 call, leaving the fans who expected a jolting win dissatisfied. Ulsan continued their close calls in the FA Cup quarterfinals, beating Incheon United by a goal in the quarterfinals.

Ulsan was the better side against Jeonbuk the last they met at the Munsu, with critics emphasizing double jeopardy in this game, as a loss or a stalemate weakens them to a potential third spot.

Ulsan’s run in the last five league matches postulates two wins, two losses and one stalemate. It exacerbates a slip in their title chase as they perch one point behind the Phoenixes of Sangju City, Gimcheon Sangmu.

The player under consideration is Kee Hee Kim, who defends his lines exceptionally and joins the attack on the flanks and midfield.

Ulsan has had three wins in the last five meetings with Jeonbuk Hyundai, with two stalemates; the three wins were on Ulsan’s home turf, while the stalemates were on Jeonbuk’s home pitch. Two BTTS-YES and four under-three goals have also played in these.

The Hyundai is guaranteed to leave us on the edge of our seats. Although Jeonbuk has the honour of their grounds to protect, Ulsan faces double jeopardy. Our top three thoughts are:

• Under three goals at 2.25 odds from Bet365.
• A BTTS at 1.52 odds from Betway.
• A stalemate at 3.74 odds from 1xbet.
