Match description

Ulsan sit 2nd in the table with 16 scored goals this season, while Daejeon are 10th with 7 goals, which already indicates a superiority of the hosts in ranking and finishing. At home Ulsan average 2.25 goals per game, register 18.25 shots with 6.5 on target and have an average xG of 2.10, whereas Daejeon on the road score 1.25 goals with 9.75 shots, 3 on target and xG 1.25. Defensively Daejeon are solid away, conceding only 0.75 goals per game despite an average xG against of 1.47, while Ulsan at home concede 1.5 goals and have xG against 1.43. In the last 5 matches Ulsan average 1.4 points with form L W L W D, and Daejeon only 0.6 points with a poor run L L L W L and a single win, which favours the hosts. Considering Ulsan’s clear advantage in chance creation (18.25 vs 9.75), higher expected effectiveness (xG 2.10 vs 1.25) and higher home goal average (2.25 vs 1.25), I expect a home win.
