Gwangju FC vs Ulsan Hyundai Prediction: Ulsan remains Comfortable in First Spot

The PlayOffs kick off a fortnight after the conclusion of the first regular playing period of the K-League, with Gwangju FC welcoming Ulsan Hyundai. Previous clashes between the sides revealed low-scoring brawls, with the predominant scoreline bordering on 1-0 and 2-0 score margins. Five recent clashes between these sides revealed four Ulsan victories and one victory for Gwangju - the most recent outcome. Regardless, the higher 90-minute win probability falls towards the visitors, who have dominated more of the direct clashes between the squads.

Gwangju FC (3rd)

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

Gwangju holds the fort down as the most defensive team in the league this season, with thirty goals conceded in the last thirty-three games played. The last five games against Ulsna saw the team concede six goals, a very impressive statistic against the most prolific attacking team in the league. They have managed four recent games with only one loss, which was a narrow 1-0 defeat to Jeonbuk Motors. The team spurs ahead in defiance, hoping to replicate the victory against Ulsan, who seemed occupied by the euphoric thrill of the Asian Federation Cup.

Ulsan Hyundai (1st)

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

The giants of the Hyundai Derby faced defeat against Gwangju in the last meeting, something attributed by critics and pundits alike as a fluke defeat - courtesy of squad rotation and fixture congestion due to the tug of the AFC thrill. They showed strength in the clash against Thai counterparts BG Pathum United, defeating them 3-1. They forged on domestically to claim victory against Suwon FC, before getting an AFC beatdown against Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale. They fell to goalless stalemates against Pohang Steelers and Incheon United. Regardless of these, the team remains the best-attacking side of the league, with the tendency to claim a low-scoring victory over the hosting side.
