In 2024, Ulsan took the third championship title in a row, beating Gangwon by eight points. The team performed well in the final stage of the season, having not suffered a single defeat in five matches.

On February 12, the hosts lost to Thai Buriram United (1:2), losing the chance to continue the fight. In friendly matches, Ulsan managed to beat Bucharest Rapid (2:1) and Moscow Lokomotiv (1:0).

FC Anyang

South Korea

Current form

Anyang managed to win the K-League 2 in 2024, taking first place in the standings with a margin of only three points from Asan. The team finished the last three matches in a draw, sharing points with Jeongnam (1:1), Bucheon 1995 (0:0) and Gyeongnam (1:1). The loss of points did not prevent the guests from finishing first. Ryu Byong-hoon's team took the only direct ticket to the K-League 1 and saved themselves from having to play in the play-offs. The newcomer will try to gain a foothold in the top division and stay there as long as possible.

The hosts played a great game at the end of 2024, leaving their competitors no chance in the fight for the title. The team also performed well in friendly matches, defeating European teams. The club will also try to start the new season with a victory. We will start with a match against the newcomer of the championship, so the chances of success for Ulsan are quite high. We do not think that Anyang will be able to avoid defeat in the match against the champion.

Our forecast is Ulsan's victory in 1.63

Bet on the total

The players have had a good rest in the offseason and are ready to start fighting for high places with renewed vigor. We believe that in the first official match, the teams will try to please the fans with high performance, and last season the opponents scored quite a lot, so we should bet on the total more.

Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.96

Betting on corners

We don't think that anyone will close in on defense in this match, so for sure we will have a lot of flank attacks, which should lead to a large number of corners.

Our forecast is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.75
