Shanghai Shenhua vs Ulsan: Asian Champions League Match Prediction
In the sixth round of the Asian Champions League, Chinese Shanghai Shenhua and Korean Ulsan will play on December 4. Both teams are not in the playoff zone yet, but the hosts are much closer - just one point from eighth place. The visitors have not scored a single point in five matches and have left themselves no chance to continue the fight. Will the Korean club be able to score their first points in the tournament? The answer is in our forecast.
Command Analysis
Shanghai Shenhua
ChinaCurrent form
Shanghai Shenhua fought for the championship in the Chinese Super League until the very end, but ultimately lost first place to their neighbors, Shanghai Port. The loss of points in the penultimate round with the outsider Shenzhen (2:2) decided everything. There was an opportunity to take advantage of the competitor misfire, but after this failure it was difficult to count on the title. As a result, Leonid Slutsky charges fell one point behind their competitor and were forced to be content with silver medals. There is still a chance to continue the fight in the Champions League, where the team occupies ninth place. A victory in the upcoming match could return the hosts to the top eight.

Ulsan Hyundai
South KoreaCurrent form
Ulsan has managed to confirm its status as South Korean champions this season, winning the K-League 1 for the third year in a row. But the Blue-Oranges are performing terribly in the Champions League. There have been only defeats in the four opening rounds. First, against Kawasaki Frontale with a score of 0:1, then against Yokohama (0:4), Kobe (0:2), and also Johor (0:3). In the last round, they managed to score against Shanghai Port (1:3), but still failed to fight for points. The visitors deservedly occupy the last place in the Western Conference standings.

1.64Tip and bets
The hosts have often failed recently, including in the Champions League matches, but now they are facing the main outsider of the group, so I want to believe that Leonid Slutsky charges will perform as required. The visitors are clearly not betting on this tournament, so we will give preference to the Chinese club.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Shanghai Shenhua for 1.70
Bet on total
The hosts need a win to return to the playoff zone, and the team knows how to play in attack, as they managed to score 73 goals in a fairly competitive Chinese championship. The visitors have also scored regularly in recent matches, despite ambiguous results, so we expect a productive performance from these teams.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
We don't think any of the opponents are going to sit back in defense today, so there shouldn't be a shortage of corner kicks in this match. We suggest betting on the total over this indicator.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.95
