Command Analysis
Ulsan Hyundai
South KoreaCurrent form
AFC Ulsan failed to achieve success in the current Champions League draw. It cannot be said that the Koreans have a weak squad by the standards of Asian football, but the team focused on the national championship, where they were able to once again become champions and reach the cup final, where the main time with the Pohang Steelers ended in a draw (1:1), and in the extra two halves the hosts of the upcoming match missed two unanswered the ball.
In the Asian Champions League, Ulsan played seven rounds and won only one victory, having suffered six defeats. With three points in the East table, the team takes 11th place, without even a theoretical chance of reaching the playoffs. Below is only the Central Coast Mariners, who have not won a single victory.

Shandong Taishan
ChinaCurrent form
The fate of Shandong Taishan in the Asian Champions League depends on the upcoming match. Any result other than a defeat guarantees the team entry into the playoffs, but even if the club fails, and the Pohang Steelers and Shanghai Port, which are below, also lose points, then the Chinese team will also reach the 1/8 finals. In the last match, the team was able to confidently beat Gwangju 3-1 on its own field. This victory over a strong opponent clearly gave the club confidence, and now we need to give our best 100% against a team that completely failed the tournament.

In three of the last five home matches, Ulsan scored after the break.
1.78The Shandong Taishan team will score in the second half
In four of the last six away matches, Shandong Taishan scored in the second 45 minutes.
1.72Tip and bets
We believe that Shandong Taishan will have the advantage in the upcoming match. The Chinese team is determined, because its participation in the playoffs is still questionable. At the same time, Ulsan has already achieved its tournament goals and does not need to win. In addition, the reigning champion had an unsuccessful start in the national championship. In the first round, the team lost to Anyang on its own field (0:1). This defeat suggests that the players have not yet reached their optimal form, and it is unlikely that even with local fans they will be able to score points with such a highly motivated opponent.
Our forecast is that Shandong Taishan will win with a coefficient of 2.37
Bet on the total
Ulsan has been able to score in four of the last five matches at home. Shandong Taishan does not stay on the defensive in away matches either, and they managed to distinguish themselves in seven of the last nine meetings. Such statistics of goals scored suggest that after the final whistle, there will be no zeros on the scoreboard in the upcoming match.
Our forecast is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
Considering how the clubs have been playing lately, we come to the conclusion that Shandong Taishan will play the match more productively and make more innings from the corner flag.
Our forecast is that Shandong Taishan will take more corners in 1.80 seconds.
