Yokohama F.Marinos vs Ulsan HD Prediction: End Of The Road For The Nissan Warriors?

After a close first leg at the Munsu Grounds in Korea, with Ulsan taking a 1-0 lead, the Korea - Japan rivalry resumes this time at the Nissan Stadium, where Yokohama reigns Supreme. It is expected that the Japanese side will constrict the guests, who intimidated them to a close game the last time the sides met. Goal-wise, it was a disappointment, as twenty-five (25) fouls and eight total shots on target only produced one goal.

Below is a preview of the team’s information, table, h2h, comparisons, and betting tips dwelling on possible outcomes from this brutal contest.

Yokohama F.Marinos

Yokohama’s journey to the silverware seems threatened by a one-goal deficit in the first round of the semi-finals of the most prestigious tournament in Asia. They face the best team in Korea, Ulsan HD, for another sparring contest - hoping for a lifeline to win in standard time or resort to penalties. They failed to equalise the early first-half lead after learning a terrible lesson on Ulsan’s home grounds - possession without goals is a recipe for disaster. They are expected to deploy the perks of home advantage in this clash and prevent early slipups as Ulsan looks to once again capitalise on mistakes, should they repeat themselves.

Already tipped as silverware favourites, Ulsan’s display of discipline at home was impressive, outdoing themselves to lock the second half after an early first-half lead. On Nissan’s ground, they lack pitch familiarity, and despite the probability of victory costing an arm and a leg, the side is reputed to always step forward in hard times. With a little display of first-leg resilience, they may look at ninety minutes of solidity after trashing the Nissan Stadium at full-time. Ulsan would score goals here and prove that they are the better side.
