✍️ Match Preview

Analysis

Daegu FC make the trip to Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium to face Ulsan Hyundai FC in K League 1, Relegation Group - 34. The match kicks off on Sunday 26 October 2025 at 05:00 UTC.

Current Form

Ulsan Hyundai FC's overall K League 1 record this term: 2W 3D 5L from 10 games (0.90 PPG). Last five: D D D L W. They are averaging 1.10 goals per game and conceding 1.70 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

In front of their own supporters this season, Ulsan Hyundai FC have posted 4W 3D 3L at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium — 1.50 PPG. At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 1.50 is noticeably stronger than their overall 0.90 — Ulsan Hyundai FC are significantly better at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium than their overall form suggests.

Daegu FC (all games): 3W 4D 3L across 10 K League 1 outings this term — 1.30 points per game. Last five: W L D W D. They are scoring at 1.70 per game and conceding 1.80. Both teams have scored in 80% of their matches this season — one of the stronger BTTS rates in the division, making Yes a well-evidenced play.

When travelling in K League 1 this season, Daegu FC have posted 2W 2D 6L from 10 away outings — 0.80 PPG. Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.40 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.30 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.

Neither side holds a meaningful form edge. The 0.90 vs 1.30 PPG split is negligible — model and market signals should carry more analytical weight for this one.

Head-to-Head

Historically, Ulsan Hyundai FC have had the better of this match-up — 6 wins from 9 meetings, with Daegu FC managing just 0 victories and 3 draws shared.

The 9 previous meetings have averaged 2.0 goals per game — a neutral rate that provides no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent clash, on 27 Sep 2025, ended 1–1 with a draw.

The historical record gives Ulsan Hyundai FC a meaningful edge here — 6 wins from 9 meetings is the kind of ledger that should not be discounted when the form picture is inconclusive. Even away from home, the visitors have struggled to impose themselves in this fixture.

Trading

Ulsan Hyundai FC half-time and goal-timing data (71 games, 35 at home): they score before half-time in 66% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; BTTS occurs in 49% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 54% of games (home games).

Daegu FC half-time and goal-timing data (71 games, 35 at away): they score before half-time in 69% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 81% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 57% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 60% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 66% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 37%; they fail to score in 31% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Ulsan Hyundai FC 51% versus Daegu FC 63%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Ulsan Hyundai FC 44% | Daegu FC 62%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Ulsan Hyundai FC 1.78 xG and Daegu FC 1.30 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Ulsan Hyundai FC attack 0.904 / defence 0.931 | Daegu FC attack 1.136 / defence 1.310. League average goals — home 1.505 / away 1.228. Daegu FC bring a strong defensive rating of 1.310 — this is suppressing Ulsan Hyundai FC's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 66 Ulsan Hyundai FC games / 66 Daegu FC games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Ulsan Hyundai FC 48% | Draw 25% | Daegu FC 27%. Fair-value odds: Ulsan Hyundai FC 2.08 | Draw 4.00 | Daegu FC 3.70. Ulsan Hyundai FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (25%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 61% | Total xG 3.08. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.08 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% reflects that both xG figures (1.78 / 1.30) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.

Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Ulsan Hyundai FC at 48% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 25% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Ulsan Hyundai FC if the outright odds are short.

Poisson projects 3.08 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.2 goals per game.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 61% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Ulsan Hyundai FC 50% | Daegu FC 70% BTTS from recent games.
