Gwangju will invite Ulsan to the Gwangju World Cup Stadium in the Korean FA Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday. The hosts overcame Suwon on penalties in the previous round, while the Tigers defeated Incheon 3-0.
The home side are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions and registered a 2-1 away win over Anyang in the K League 1 last week. All three goals in that match were scored in the first half, with goals from Sin Chang-moo and Jasir Asani helping the hosts take a comfortable lead.
The visitors have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last five games in all competitions. They were in action in the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this month and lost all three games. They concluded their group stage campaign with a narrow 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund last week.
