UANL Tigres faces Ulsan Hyundai in the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 4th at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium (Al Rayyan)
The popular Mexican club won the last CONCACAF Champions League, thus earning the right to play at the Club World Cup. In the national championship, Tigres takes an intermediate sixth place and shows quite interesting football. The well-known Brazilian specialist Ricardo Ferretti is working with the team. Thanks to his efforts, his charges began to show an organized game in defense and achieved good efficiency in the attack. The team usually operates with one forward at the helm and three attack-oriented midfielders. In winter, Tigres' squad was strengthened by goalkeeper Chavez, left-back Cruz, and forward Gonzalez. The Paraguayan striker may well become a regular in the Mexican club. Gignac (the famous French forward), Nicolas Lopez, Pizarro, Salcedo, and Guzman are the leaders of the current Tigres.

Ulsan Hyundai won the Asian Champions League, having beaten Persepolis in the final (2:1). Now the championship of South Korea is not held, and Ulsan may have certain problems with readiness for the Club World Cup. Since December 2020, Hong Myung-bo, a renowned coach with legendary status as a national team player, has been working with the team. Ulsan is staffed mainly by local footballers. In winter, the Korean club lost its top scorer, Brazilian Junior Negrao. Hinterseer from Hamburg and Norwegian Bjorn Johnsen are called to replace the striker. The main hopes in the Korean club are pinned on Kim In-sung, Yoon Bit-garam, Won Du-jae, and Bulthuis.
The Mexican club is in good shape, showing high performance at the national level. But the Korean team will play against the background of a long downtime without playing practice, which will certainly affect the team's actions. The downside for Ulsan is the loss of the main forward, which will be difficult to replace. Therefore, we think that the nominal hosts will manage to win in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: UANL Tigres to win
