Pohang – Ulsan will play on Saturday, June 6, starting at 11:00 in the 5th round of the South Korean first league. It is noteworthy that the last direct confrontation took place in the last round of last season. Ulsan needed a point to become the champion, but was defeated at home 4-1 by Pohang and thus lost the title.
Very interesting is the fact that in the last 8 direct matches not even a draw was registered, and in 9 of the last 11 confrontations, the bet “both score” was the winner.
After finishing 4th last season and missing out on the Asian Champions League, the home team is still in 4th place after 4 rounds. The new season started with a “home” victory, 2-0 with Busan. This was followed by a draw at Daegu, 1-1, a home defeat, 1-2 with Seol, and in the last round the category was won 4-1 at Incheon. It is noteworthy that Pohang is doing well on his own field, where last season he won 33 of the total of 48 points and lost only 4 games out of 17 played.
On the other hand, the guests started the season with two victories 4-0 at home with Sangju Sangmu and 3-2 at Suwon, followed by two draws with the same score, 1-1, at home with Busan and Gwangju. Therefore, the “both score” bet was the winner in the last 3 games played by Ulsan who occupies the 2nd place with a total of 8 points, at a long distance from the leader Jeonbuk.
Certainly, Ulsan did not forget how he lost the title of champion in the last round right in front of today’s opponent. He needed a draw, played at home, but lost 4-1. So, we expect the visiting team to seek revenge and there is a good chance we will witness a spectacular match because both groups score and receive goals easily. Moreover, in the last direct confrontation there were 23 sutures on the goal.
-Pohang has scored in 12 of the last 13 home matches;
-Pohang has suffered only one defeat in the last 9 home games;
-In the last 9 matches, Ulsan lost only in front of the opponent in this match.
