Current form
Ulsan won the championship for the second time in a row, despite resistance from rivals such as Gimcheon Sangmu and Gangwon. The team secured the championship title ahead of schedule, so the last couple of rounds turned into a formality. Nevertheless, the champion still did not lose to Seoul (1:1) and Suwon (4:2). The team also played poorly in the Champions League, losing to Johor Darul (0:3) and Shanghai Port (1:3). The nominal guests completely lost their chances of advancing from the group. Nevertheless, there is still a chance to take the South Korean Cup and complete the gold double.

The visitors have no problems with their squad before the last match of the season.
Interesting trends for betting

2.10Tip and bets
Pohang Steelers fell apart in the season finale, suffering losses in all tournaments and even falling to the bottom of their subgroup in the championship. The team managed to reach the cup final before the crisis began, but it is unlikely that they will be able to beat the champion. Ulsan is still in better shape and will probably add another trophy to their collection.
Our prediction is Ulsan to win at 1.75
Bet on total
There are rarely many goals in finals. The trophy is at stake, so it is unlikely that anyone will take a big risk. The opponents will probably play with an eye on their own goal, so you should not expect a goal extravaganza in the final match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.90
Bet on corners
Most likely, the opponents will build the game from defense. With such a style of play, it is difficult to expect a large number of corners.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.75
