Ulsan vs Incheon United Prediction and Betting Tips

Ulsan Hyundai welcome Incheon United to the Ulsan Munsu Stadium for a Korean FA Cup quarterfinal fixture on Wednesday. The hosts are coming off a narrow 1-0 victory over FC Seoul at the same venue in the K League 1 over the weekend.

Joo Min-Kyu scored the match-winner in the fourth minute of injury time to help his side claim the win.

Incheon, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 away win over Gwangju in their last outing. Matej Jonjic broke the deadlock in the 44th minute while Gabriel Tigrao's 83rd-minute own goal sealed the victory for the visitors.

They will now turn their attention to the cup and secured their spot at this stage with a penalty shootout victory over Gimcheon Sangmu in the round-of-16 following a goalless stalemate. Ulsan also navigated to the last eight on penalties after an eight-goal thriller at home to Gyeongnam.

Ulsan vs Incheon United Prediction

Ulsan's league title defense got back on track over the weekend as they ended their three-game winless run with the win over Seoul. They have won consecutive league titles in the last two seasons but they have not had similar success in the cup. Their sole triumph in the cup came in 2017.

Incheon recently parted ways with former manager Jo Sung-hwan after a poor start to the season. Caretaker manager Byun Jae-sub kick-started his tenure with a win ending the club's nine-game winless run in the league (four losses).

We are tipping the hosts to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
