The reigning champion is acting too unstable - in the last four rounds, the hosts have lost twice, first to Gangwon (1:2) on their own field, and then to Kimcheon Sangmu (0:2) on the road. In the other two matches, they managed to win dry victories over Anyang (1-0) and Gwangju (3-0).

1.92Tip and bets
The hosts need to win, otherwise the gap from the first place will continue to grow. The Pohang Steelers are not an impenetrable opponent for Ulsan, and besides, the Tigers will play on their own field. Most likely, the support of the fans will help the reigning champion to win an important victory.
Our betting tip is Ulsan's victory in 1.75
Bet on the total
The hosts don't make defensive mistakes very often and have conceded only 10 goals in 13 matches. Only Gangwon, who played two fewer matches, has less. For sure, the reigning champion will play pragmatically again, so you shouldn't count on a scoring extravaganza this time.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 1.87
Betting on corners
If the teams play as we described above, then it is highly likely that we will not see a large number of corners in the match. We will place another bet on the grassroots total in this indicator.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 8.5 corners in 1.96
