Ulsan Hyundai hosts Sangju Sangmu in round 1 of South Korean K League 1. The match will be played on Saturday, May 9th at Jeonju Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium (Ulsan)
In the last championship, Ulsan lost the gold medals to Jeonbuk only in terms of goal difference, although the Tigers scored quite a lot in that tournament - 63 goals in 33 rounds. However, the team was also experiencing problems in defense. And 32 goals were conceded. Already this season, Ulsan hosted Tokyo in the Asian Champions League and scored a goal again but conceded either.

Sangju is also not bad in terms of scoring. It scored 42 goals in the last championship, and it’s a quite good indicator for the team that took 6th place. But the defense was a total mess. The rivals hit the net of the Phoenixes 48 times.
For well-known reasons, both teams did not play and practically did not train for almost 3 months. And the search for a winner is better to get around. But the exchange of goals can be expected. Firstly, the teams missed the game, and most likely, neither one nor the other would sit back on heels. Secondly, they usually show a scoring game in head-to-head matches. And the exchange of goals was recorded in 8 of the last 12 meetings. Besides, Ulsan plays without regard to its box, and it spent six of its last eight matches with the proposed outcome. Therefore, the goal scored by the visitors is quite possible. And the vice-champion will score its goal for sure. Sangju kept a clean sheet in only one of its last 10 matches.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
