Seoul will welcome Ulsan to the Seoul World Cup Stadium in a mid-table K League 1 clash on Sunday. Both teams have 30 points to their name, though the sixth-placed visitors have a game in hand.
The hosts saw their unbeaten streak across all competitions end after four games earlier this month as they suffered a 1-0 home loss to Jeonbuk Motors in the Korean FA Cup quarterfinals. They are unbeaten in their last four league games and registered a 4-1 home win over the Pohang Steelers last month.
The visitors have seen a drop in form and are winless in their last seven games, including defeats in the three group-stage games in the FIFA Club World Cup in June. They ended their losing streak after five games last week as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Daegu in the K League 1.

Seoul vs Ulsan Prediction
The Dark Red Warriors head into the match on a four-game unbeaten streak in the K League 1, though they have won just one of their last seven home games.
The Tigers are winless in all competitions since May, suffering five defeats in seven games. They have won just one of their last five K League 1 away games and will look to improve upon that record.
Considering the current form of the two teams and recent history, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
