Ulsan vs Vissel Kobe Prediction and Betting Tips

Ulsan welcome Vissel Kobe to Uksan Munsu Football Stadium for an AFC Champions League Elite fixture on Wednesday. The hosts haven't been in action since a goalless draw at Gimcheon Sangmu in the South Korean K1 League a fortnight ago.

Vissel, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 home defeat to FC Tokyo in the J1 League over the weekend. Keita Endo and Soma Anzai scored in either half to help Tokyo leave with all three points.

Ushi now turn their focus to the continent, where their last game was a 2-1 home win over Shandong Taishan, while Ulsan fell to a 4-0 defeat at Yokohama F Marinos.

The loss left them at the foot of the table, as they are yet to register any points on the board after two games, while Kobe are third with four points.

Ulsan vs Vissel Kobe Prediction

Ulsan are two-time winners of the AFC Champions League but have had a poor start to the campaign and were heavily thrashed last time out. Both their games in the tournament have been in losses against Japanese opposition, so Tigers fans will hope that third time is the charm.

Vissel, meanwhile, saw their five-game winning run ended over the weekend and will be keen to return to winning ways. They enter the game as the more in-form side over the last few months.

Although either side could nick a win, expect the spoils to be shared in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Ulsan 1-1 Vissel
