Ulsan HD is aiming for a turnaround in Daegu FC's away game.

Ulsan will play the eighth round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at 4:30 p.m. on the 13th at Daegu iM Bank PARK. Recently, Ulsan has been mired in a four-game winless streak (two draws and two losses). The ranking fell to 6th place (11 points, 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses). Daegu is sluggish with five consecutive losses after two wins and one draw. It remains in ninth place with seven points. Both teams are busy on their way.

Ulsan drew 0-0 at home against FC Seoul in the seventh round on the 5th. He dominated with a 63-37 possession rate and recorded a 10-10 (4:5 effective shots) in the total number of shots, but failed to shake the net.




Despite the disappointing draw, Ulsan proved to be a natural enemy for eight years with 23 undefeated games (15 wins and 8 draws) against Seoul since the 0-3 defeat on October 28, 2017.

There was also a harvest. Ulsan's Choi Seok-hyun started in the match against Seoul and filled the gap in the injured signatory. Choi Seok-hyun emerged as another option by building a stable defense with captain Kim Young-kwon. After the match against Jeju United (2-0 win) on March 9, the defense settled down again in four games. Six runs in eight league games this season.

In order for Ulsan to turn around in this match against Daegu, the offense must revive. He boasted the strongest firepower in K League 1 with 62 goals in 38 league games last season. He has eight goals in eight games this season. In addition to new foreign resources such as Rakaba and Eric, Heo Yul, Lee Hee-kyun, Lee Jin-hyun, and Yoon Jae-seok are working with existing resources in attack.




Attention is focusing on whether Heo Yul (three goals in eight games), who has established himself as a leading striker, will resume his scoring in a month following a multi-goal match against Jeju on March 9. Eric (one goal in four games) showed his presence as a debut goal in his away debut match with Suwon FC on March 16. Expectations are high as the two's teamwork at the front line is gradually ripening. Venezuela's top Lacava (7 games) is also aiming for his debut goal. The firepower must be fired to speed up the pursuit of the lead again.

One of the things to pay attention to is director Kim Pan-gon. Coach Kim's debut match in Ulsan, who took the helm during last season, was Daegu. Ko Seung-beom induced the opponent's own goal and won 1-0. At that time, gatekeeper Cho Hyun-woo helped the victory by blocking all eight effective shots. Kim won his debut game.

Ulsan is strong in Daegu. It has been on a four-game winning streak recently, including three consecutive showdowns last season. Starting with a 2-0 win on December 5, 2021, he is undefeated in 11 games (9 wins and 2 draws). The last time Ulsan lost to Daegu was an away game (1-2 loss) in Daegu on September 28, 2021.
