Ulsan Hyundai hosts Daegu in round 20 of the South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 4th at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium (Ulsan)
The championship leaders will test their attack for accuracy. The beginning is promising, I agree. But in fact, that’s just the way it is — Ulsan is currently in the lead in the Korean championship standings with 38 points. With all due respect to Daegu, the hosts are the best and most productive team at their native stadium, both in the local championship and in parallel competitions like the Asian Champions League. The Tigers lost only two out of the last 20 home matches. It happened on February 7 in the FIFA Cup match against Al-Duhail (1-3) and a week ago in the game against Suwon City (2-5). Well, I am making an emphasis on the fact that even playing at home and losing, Ulsan managed to score and concede. The last game ended in a goalless draw against Seoul, but this club is rather unyielding, and besides, some of Ulsan's best players were busy at the training camp in the Olympic team.

I will not write a lot about Daegu, as I tried to predict each of their game. So, I do not want to repeat myself, but I will only make the reasoning of my choice. Daegu is in 2nd place in the standings and lags four points behind Ulsan. Moreover, the Sky Blues have one game in hand. In principle, their attack is no worse than that of Ulsan, and the statistical indicators of defense are exactly the same (22 goals conceded by Ulsan and 21 by Daegu). In the last round, Daegu tied against Pohang Steelers (1-1). The game was extremely attacking — the exchange of goals in the second half and 14 shots on target in total. Further, I would like to note the attack of Daegu, which is one of the best in the league. The Brazilians Cesinha and Edgar Santos are the best in the team, and local professionals such as Kim Ji, Nishi, and Lee Keun-ho also score regularly.
I mentioned the attack of Daegu above, and in conclusion I want to decorate everything with the attack of Ulsan, which is one of the most productive in the league. Lee Dong-jun, Kim Min-jun, Yoon Bit-garam, and Kim Sung-joon are currently the most productive players in the team. They have scored 18 goals for four, but there are also no less productive players invited from other countries. Lucas Hinterseer, Valeri Qazaishvili, and Bulthuis have scored 10 goals for the Korean club. I see no reason for low production in the upcoming game, as the leaders will fight to the last.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 goals scored
