1.61Tip and bets
Ulsan recently managed to win on the road, but the team has not yet pleased its fans on its own field. We believe that the reigning champion will be in a good mood for the duel with Jeongbuk. The guests are showing excellent results at the beginning of the season, but if Ulsan's players play their best, they will be able to score three points.
Our betting tip is the Asian handicap (0) for Ulsan in 1.73
Bet on the total
The hosts failed to score maximum points in the first rounds of the championship, but they played pretty well defensively, conceding only one goal in two matches. We think that in the upcoming match, the reigning champion will be able to play carefully at his own goal, preventing Jeongbuk from creating many chances. In seven of the last eight face-to-face matches, the total bet was lower, and the match of the third round will certainly not be an exception.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals per 1.80
Betting on corners
Most likely, the hosts will immediately seize the initiative in this match and will press on the opponent's goal for the entire 90 minutes. With such a game, the favorite is sure to win in almost all the main indicators, including the number of corners taken.
Our betting tip is an Asian head start (-1.5) on corners for Ulsan in 1.99
