KL - Football - South Korea - K-League

A game at the top of K League, after six rounds Ulsan Hyundai remains in first position, and comes to Sungui Arena Park to take on host, second placed, Incheon United. Two teams that have built their good performance above solid defenses, which will be the defining aspect here.

With four victories by the minimum margin in six games, Incheon United have four clean sheets and a minimal goal production. Failing to get full points against FC Seoul and Pohang Steelers, games in which they have allowed a single goal against, and failed to score against Pohang Steelers. This game represents a good test for the real reach of the team, starting by their defense.

After the scoreless tie against the military side, Ulsan Hyundai has been on a roll, six consecutive victories, one in AFC Champions League and five in K League, against top opposition as Jeonbuk FC and Pohang Steelers, victories that could ultimately decide the championship. The deciding aspect here is their solid defense that has allowed two goals in six games and an effective attack with an average close to two goals per game, with Brazilian Leonardo and Japanese Jun Amano as the main threats.

The previous four games at this venue, Ulsan Hyundai has obtained points, two victories and two ties. In three of them only one team score. Considering this precedent, together with the current form of both teams in which the defense has been the priority and few goals have been scored it seems this game is headed towards only one team scoring tonight, but with Incheon United have score in four of the previous five and Ulsan Hyundai is the best attack of the league, we might see goals from both. Therefore, in what seems will be a close encounter the best option is Ulsan Hyundai to take something from this game, mainly for having a better attack.
