Pohang Steelers vs Ulsan HD Prediction: We Expect Top Performances From Both Sides

Round 20 of the K League pushes on as the Steelers of Pohang Province play the best (arguably) team in the league, Ulsan, the giants of the Hyundai. We witness one of the toughest games this week as the two camps have gone unbeaten in three recent games. Ulsan’s nerve is tested by a side harbouring a grudge from a previous direct defeat. The possibility of excitement cannot be overstated, as the two sides field quality players who will wreak havoc in both camps.

Last Five Matches: D-W-D-L-W

The Steelers have been weakened by two stalemates and a loss in their most recent league outings. However, they managed to clinch victories in respective games against the Durumi of Incheon United and the Bulsajo of Gimcheon, the Sangju Phoenix. They were waned to fatigue last week in the 1-1 gridlock against Jeonbuk Hyundai, softening the top-table ambitions.

Across all competitions, they have been rock solid at the Steelyard grounds, taking two wins and three stalemates in font of Pohang faithful.

In a bid to tie loose ends, Manager Ta Hae Park continues his 4-2-3-1 style with three false nines and one target man up front., leaving four defenders to cover the base. As usual, Oberdan Alionco is a player to keep hopes on, with his excellent tackling skills, long ball accuracy, and positioning to create havoc a key factor expected to make a difference in this clash.

Last Five Matches: W-W-D-W-D

Ulsan Tigers flaunt a running seven-game unbeaten run across all tournaments. They have taken eleven points from the last five league games, recently dropping to Gimcheon - who has a game in hand on the team.

Below average away from home with a win, a stalemate, and two losses in the last four league games, any result other than a win for Ulsan puts strain on their claim to the league silverware.

The 1-0 victory over Dageu FC was disappointing, with Min Kyu Joo having said to have a slow day at the office, leaving the helm of victory to be manned by midfielder Darijan Borjanic, who sealed the deal seven minutes before halftime. Manager Myung Bo Hyung flaunts a 5-4-1 formation as if to express his intentions of not slipping any points away from his camp.

The last five meetings between the teams have been leveraged towards Ulsan, who have taken three wins and two stalemates from the game. Three cases of Under 2.5 and two BTTS cases were also registered in these clashes.

Ulsan may be considered the better side, but Pohang is a team that would give them a decent run for their money. Here are our top expectations for this game:

• A BTTS at 1.60 odds from Betway.
• A win for Ulsan at 2.36 odds from 1xbet.
• Over 2.5 match Goals at 1.75 odds from Bet365
