Ulsan will host Daejeon Hana at the Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on Wednesday in another round of the 2025 K League 1 campaign. The home side have failed to perform upon returning from the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States last month and now sit seventh in the league table with 30 points from 21 matches.
They suffered a 1-0 defeat to Seoul in their game on Sunday, falling to a Jesse Lingard strike in the first half and failing to find a way back into the contest despite an improved showing in the second.
Daejeon Hana have not fared much better than their midweek opponents in recent games and have fallen well behind in the race for the title. They played out a 2-2 draw against Gangwon last time out and had looked set to be headed toward maximum points on the road before conceding twice in the dying minutes of the game to register yet another draw.
The visitors sit second in the table but are 12 points behind league leaders Jeonbuk and will be desperate to get their campaign back on track on Wednesday.
