BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS landed in 73% of Gwangju's matches and 60% of Ulsan's, both above the league average of 53%. Gwangju score an average of 1.73 goals per match, while Ulsan average 1.27; their xG averages are 1.81 and 1.54, respectively, pointing to scoring chances at both ends. Over their last five matches, both teams averaged 1.4 goals scored, although Gwangju conceded as many as 2.2 per game, which particularly boosts Ulsan's chances of scoring. The risk with BTTS - Yes is that Ulsan failed to score in 27% of their matches and conceded an average of just 0.8 goals over their last five. Even so, BTTS landed in 80% of Gwangju's last five matches and 60% of Ulsan's, making goals from both teams more likely. BTTS - No means at least one team fails to score; it does not necessarily mean a 0-0 draw or that neither team scores.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest pick is Over 1.5 goals: this line was surpassed in 73% of Gwangju's matches and 87% of Ulsan's. The hosts score an average of 1.73 goals and concede 1.13, while Ulsan score 1.27 goals and Gwangju concede 1.53. Their attacking potential is supported by xG figures of 1.81 for Gwangju and 1.54 for Ulsan, although the hosts have conceded as many as 2.2 goals per game over their last five matches. The projected total of 2.97 goals points to at least two goals, but the higher Over 2.5 line has weaker support: it has been surpassed in 73% of Gwangju's matches and 47% of Ulsan's.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: both teams were level after 45 minutes in 47% of their matches this season, while in their last five fixtures this applied to 60% of Gwangju’s matches and 80% of Ulsan’s. In that same period, neither team led at the break, weakening scenarios based on an early lead. After half-time, the form advantage shifts the balance in favour of the visitors: Ulsan have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Gwangju have won none. In the second halves of those fixtures, Ulsan scored an average of 1.2 goals and conceded 0.4, compared with Gwangju’s 0.8 goals scored and 1.0 conceded. Although Gwangju have won more often than Ulsan over the season as a whole (53% versus 40%), the recent results and the visitors’ effectiveness after the break make a half-time draw followed by a Ulsan win the most compelling HT/FT scenario.
