It will be an all K1 League affair in the quarterfinal of the AFC Champions League, as Jeonbuk Motors battle with Ulsan on Sunday for a place in the last four.

The hosts needed penalties to see off Thai side Pathum United following a 1-1 draw in the last round. Gustavo and Teerasil Dangda scored in either half to force a lottery of penalties.

Ulsan Hyundai also progressed ahead of Kawasaki Frontale with a penalty shootout victory following a goalless draw.

A place in the semifinal against either Nagoya Grampus or Pohang Steelers awaits the winner of this tie.

Jeonbuk Motors vs Ulsan Prediction

There is very little to choose from between the two sides, as they are almost evenly matched across all departments.

However, the hosts have historically been better than Ulsan and also have home advantage in their favor. Nevertheless, Ulsan Hyundai have what it takes to get the job done away from home.

Neither manager is going to go all-out in attack in respect of the threat posed by the opposition and this could be a tactical and cagey game. We are predicting a draw over 90 minutes, with the hosts progressing thanks to an extra-time goal.

Prediction: Jeaonbuk 1-1 Ulsan (Jeaonbuk to win 2-1 after extra-time)
