Looking at the matchup and ignoring any temptations to make weather jokes about the hot air in Ulsan, the past matches between Ulsan HD and Daejeon Hana Citizen tell a clear story. Ulsan HD has consistently taken the laurels, beating Daejeon three out of their last four matches. It's tough not to get ahead of the train here, folks. There's consistency and then there's just being a hard luck club.
Head over to the season records, and we find a little more balance - Daejeon has edged out Ulsan with a mere 4-3 win margin. But keep your horses, don't charge your betting account just yet. Recent form is the wet towel in the face when you're dreaming of riches, you know what I mean. Despite a respectable series of matches from Daejeon, Ulsan is coming off a fairly tough run. The wheels just ain't all on the cart, if you get my drift.
Yes, Ulsan may be the favorite in quantifiable facts, but this sport isn't played on spreadsheets. Every game is a new chance and Daejeon is showing better overall form. But considering history and the recent past, well football history has a funny way of repeating itself, and good days sometimes don't last long.
So with a hopeful heart but a realistic mind, place your bets on -
