2.25Tip and bets
Very rarely do matches between teams end with goals. If we look at the statistics, the figures show that in the last eight out of ten matches, the total was not over 2.5 goals. We believe that there will not be many dangerous moments in the game and there will be no goal-scoring extravaganza.
Betting Tip - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.97
Bet on total
The hosts will certainly try to maintain the advantage gained in the first match and will try to get to the final. Ulsan plays more confidently than their opponents and will crush the opponent with pressure on their home field. The two previous face-to-face meetings ended in favor of the home team, which we expect today.
Prediction: Ulsan win with odds of 1.92
Betting on Team Goals
In meetings between themselves, both teams rarely manage to score. Only in two of the last ten meetings did goals get exchanged. We believe that it is most logical to pay attention to the bet both will not score.
Prediction - both teams will not score with odds of 2.10
