Fate is mean. Jeonbuk is leading the K League 1 for the first time in four years since 2021, when the opponent won five consecutive games. Ulsan will hold the 17th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 31st.
Jeonbuk, which has been undefeated (8 wins and 4 draws) in 12 consecutive games, brought down Daejeon Hana Citizen to second place in the last round. Jeonbuk has 32 points (9 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses) and Daejeon has 31 points (9 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses).
Ulsan is in third place with eight wins, five draws and five losses and 29 points. If he wins this time, he will be the same as Jeonbuk. However, Ulsan played two more games than Jeonbuk on its Club World Cup journey.
Ulsan is also not bad in momentum. It has been undefeated in six consecutive games (3 wins and 3 draws) and has not lost a single game in May. Ulsan is determined to play in the Club World Cup in the U.S. next month after sounding the winning note by continuing this trend to the 「Hyundai Derby」.
In the last round, Ulsan had a 1-1 draw with Gwangju FC. He gave up the first goal, but Eric scored the equalizer with a simple shot from the gate in the second minute of the second half with the help of Heo Yul. Since Kim Pan-gon's inauguration, he has continued his unbeaten five games (3 wins and 2 draws) against Gwangju.
Ulsan's resource to watch against Jeonbuk is also Eric. He is third in scoring, scoring eight goals in 13 league games. He has scored five goals in the last five games. In the match against Gwangju, he also showed his killer instinct two minutes after the substitution, giving the team a valuable point. He will try to score goals in three consecutive games against Jeonbuk.
Ulsan leads Jeonbuk with 44 wins, 30 draws, and 42 losses in its career history. In the first match of the season on March 1, Boyanich connected Rubikson's pass to the winning goal to secure a 1-0 victory.
Coach Kim Pan-gon, who set up a mini training camp in Jangseong, Jeollanam-do for the Hyundai Derby after the away match in Gwangju, said, `I will make a good game plan and prepare by communicating with the players. He showed good performance in the last home game against Jeonbuk. As a rival, I will produce results through games that fans like."
Ulsan will take a break after the match and then take the long road for the much-awaited Club World Cup on June 6.
