The Tigers of Ulsan, who currently lead the league, travel to the Steelyard hoping for a three-point ambush against the slipping hosts, Pohang Steelers. The two sides who shared spoils in their opening Playoff fixtures are eager to return to winning ways. Despite Ulsan narrowly beating Pohang by a goal in the previous 5-4 meeting, Pohang is not a team to be underestimated.

Pohang Steelers, who returned to to winning ways in the domestic league, got their bubbles burst in the AFC Champions League Elite game against Buriram United last week.
Before that, they pushed their luck against Suwon City in the opening of their five-game Playoff campaign, sharing spoils in the eventual 1-1 brawl.
Across all competitions, they have remained formidable, with four wins and two stalemates at the Pohang yard.

Ulsan’s 0-0 stalemate against Gimcheon Sangmu in the Playoff opener was unexpected, given the tenacity the side pulls in top-tier games.
They were further disappointed in the AFC Champions League Elite game against the Japanese side, Vissel Kobe, losing 2-0 in standard time.
Away from home in the last four games, they have rallied one win, two stalemates and one loss.
Giorgi Arabidze is the man expected to stay strong for Ulsan, who are closely tailed by the Kodiaks of Gangwon, and may likely forfeit the silverware if the side falls to clumsiness in the final embers.
