At 18:00 Beijing time on the evening of May 2, 2024, the 10th round of the South Korean K League will start a key battle, and the league leader Ulsan Hyundai will challenge Daegu FC away. Who's going to die in this game? I'm going to give you an analysis of the game.
After the first 9 rounds of matches played at home, Daegu FC has a record of 1 win, 5 draws and 3 losses, and is currently in 11th place in the standings with 8 points. Daegu FC's form has been quite sluggish recently, with only one draw and four defeats in the last five league games. And the team is already badly unbalanced at both ends of the pitch, scoring just seven goals in nine games and conceding 12 goals, almost twice as many goals conceded. This shows that the team has a lot of problems on both offensive and defensive ends.
As the new hegemon of South Korea's K League, Ulsan Hyundai was eliminated by Yokohama Mariners in the AFC Champions League knockout round and missed the final. However, the exit of the AFC Champions League has not affected Ulsan Hyundai's performance in the league, and Ulsan Hyundai currently has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and is three points behind the top team in the league with two rounds less, ranking third in the league. Recently, they have won three consecutive league games and are in excellent form. During the three-game winning streak, Ulsan Hyundai was on fire, scoring a total of 10 goals and conceding only one. Judging from the recent form and the statistics at both offensive and defensive ends, Ulsan Hyundai is better than its opponents. If they win this game, Ulsan Hyundai has a good chance of taking the top spot in the league by virtue of goal difference.
In terms of head-to-head data, Ulsan Hyundai, who have played away from home in the last 6 meetings between the two sides, have achieved an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws, and from the perspective of head-to-head data, Ulsan Hyundai can be called a big nemesis of the home team. No matter from the recent form, the offensive and defensive statistics, as well as the recent record of the two teams, Ulsan Hyundai has comprehensively suppressed the opponent. With the blessing of these advantages, I am very optimistic that Ulsan Hyundai will easily win four consecutive league victories away from home.
