Methodology

Match analysis

Over 1.5 goals in Ulsan Hyundai vs Pohang Steelers leans on the home attack. Ulsan have scored in each of their last five games and reached two or more in three of them, and they average 1.8 goals a game against Pohang's 0.6, so the hosts carry most of the scoring route in this Donghae derby on Saturday.

Ulsan have scored in every game since 8 September

That run takes in a 4-3 defeat at Gwangju on 11 October, a 2-1 defeat at FC Anyang and a 2-1 win over Bucheon last weekend, so Ulsan's games have rarely stayed quiet even when they lost. Pohang arrive having failed to score in their last two, a 0-0 with FC Anyang and a 2-0 home defeat by Johor Darul Ta'zim. The result that fits this bet worst is the derby in May, when Pohang won 1-0 in Ulsan, and the 1-0 over FC Seoul on 8 September is the only other one-goal game in Ulsan's recent five. Ulsan answered that May defeat with a 2-0 win in Pohang in August, and their scoring rate gives them a route past the line without help from the visitors.
