On Saturday, July 13, Ulsan Hyundai will face FC Seoul in the 23rd round of the K-League at home. The match will kick off at 12:00 PM Central European Time. The team of analysts at Dailysports has prepared a prediction and betting tips for this match.
Ulsan Hyundai
Ulsan Hyundai, after leading the K-League for a long time, now occupies third place with 39 points. They are just two points behind Pohang Steelers, who are currently in first place, so the fight for the top spot is still very much on. There is no doubt that Ulsan will finish in the top 6 and play in the championship round, as they are 11 points clear of the 7th place.
The "Tigers" lost their top spot due to dismal results in their last three matches, where they picked up only 1 point. In the previous round, Ulsan Hyundai unexpectedly lost at home to Gwangju with a score of 0-1. Before that, they drew 1-1 against Suwon and lost 1-2 to Pohang Steelers.
FC Seoul
Unlike Ulsan, the capital team is fighting for a place in the top 6. FC Seoul currently holds the sixth position with 30 points. They are just 2 points ahead of Gwangju, who are in seventh place. With only 5 rounds left in the regular season, it is crucial for the red and blacks to lose as few points as possible to stay ahead of their competitors.
FC Seoul comes into the match against Ulsan in excellent form. After a less-than-ideal start, they have picked up momentum and are now regularly collecting points. In their last 5 matches, the red and blacks have won 4 and lost only 1, to Jeju United. In the previous round, Seoul defeated Daejeon 2-1 at home, with the league's star Jesse Lingard scoring his second goal in the K-League.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History

Ulsan Hyundai vs FC Seoul prediction
Given Ulsan's poor form, it is risky to bet on their victory. Therefore, my prediction is that both teams will score.
