Pohang Steelers vs Ulsan Prediction and Betting Tips | June 30, 2024

Pohang Steelers host Ulsan at Steelyard Stadium in the K League 1 on Sunday (June 30). A top-of the-table clash could see a reshuffle in the top-three spots.

The hosts won't go top even with a win but could move closer and possibly claim second place. Pohang are third with 34 points, four behind leaders Ulsan and two adrift of second-placed Gimcheon Sangmu. All three sides will strive to avoid dropping points, but the Steelers are most at risk.

The Pohand-based team could be outpaced by fourth-placed Gangwon FC (31 points) if things go wrong at the Steelyard Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are undefeated in four games across competitions. However, they have lost to Ulsan in their last two clashes, both away from home, though.

Ulsan are aiming to strengthen their lead atop the table, with only two points ahead of second-placed Gimcheon Sangmu. A defeat to Pohang could see them drop to second. The visitors enter this game on the back of three straight wins.

The Tigers are unbeaten in seven games, winning five. However, they have dropped seven points in their last four road games as they head to Pohang. Ulsan’s last two visits to the Steelyard Stadium ended in a win and a stalemate, with their last defeat coming in July 2022.
