Ulsan HD will bring the leading Daejeon Hana Citizen home to change the atmosphere.

Ulsan will play the 18th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' early at 7:30 p.m. on April 1 at Munsu Football Stadium. The match, which was scheduled to be held on June 15, has been accelerated due to Ulsan's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Ulsan, which is trying to win its fourth consecutive K League title, is currently in fourth place (10 points, 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses). The first-place match has 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss). If Ulsan wins, it will be the same point.




Ulsan lost 0-1 against the Pohang Steelers on the 29th in the 'East Coast Derby', ending its unbeaten streak in the last four games (3 wins and 1 draw). Ulsan, which has changed its mind, focused on recovery quickly after the match against Pohang. Coach Kim Pan-gon shared his strengths and weaknesses with the players through the analysis and had time to communicate.

Ulsan lost the match against Pohang but midfielder Ko Seung-beom, who recovered from his injury, took charge of the midfield based on his unique amount of activity. Brazil's special Erik Parias and tall striker Heo Yul worked together in a combination of 'Big and Small'. Choi Seok-hyun, who gained experience as a loan in Cheongju, North Chungcheong Province in the K League 2 last season, is recognized for his possibility as the first starter. He was responsible for the right-side defense and expanded the player's management.

Ulsan led Daejeon by 2-1 in last season's showdown. In the second round away game on February 23 this year, Yoon Jae-seok and Heo Yul scored back-to-back goals to report their first win of the season 2-0. At that time, Bojanic, the commander of the midfield, dominated the game with two assists. Again this time, Ulsan is determined to get three points in its hands with the best combination of players in good condition.




Coach Kim Pan-gon said, `There was something that was not delicate in the last game. I will revise and practice once again, prepare well for Daejeon and home games, and give joy to the fans."
