Ulsan will play an away match in the fifth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at 7:30 p.m. on the 2nd at Daejeon World Cup Stadium.

Currently, Ulsan has been undefeated in four matches (two wins and two draws) and eight points since the opening of the league, ranking third by one point behind the first place. Among the 12 teams, Ulsan is the only one who remains unbeaten.

Ulsan led the way with consecutive goals by Lee Dong-kyung and Kim Ji-hyun in the 4th round of the K League 1 away match against Jeonbuk Hyundai on the 30th, but conceded two goals afterwards, making it a 2-2 draw. It earned one valuable point as it operated a partial rotation in the aftermath of the recruitment of the A and Olympic teams.

Choi Kang-min, who started the K-League for the first time in the match against Jeonbuk, played the role of right-back steadily, giving coach Hong Myung-bo a clear impression. Bojanic has strengthened his position in the team by being on the starting list for two consecutive games following the match against Incheon United in the fourth round.

Ulsan continued its three-match winless streak against Jeonbuk this season (one win and two draws), and the AFC Champions League (ALC). It also maintained its eight-match unbeaten streak (five wins and three draws) in February and March.

Ulsan’s first opponent in April, which ended in March, is Daejeon. There is debt to be paid back. Ulsan tasted victory against all 10 of the 11 teams last season, but it was the only one in Daejeon that did not win. It was inferior to Daejeon last season with two draws and one loss. It has a 32 wins, 19 draws and 12 losses overall.

He is pinning his hope on Lee Dong-kyung’s left foot, who has been on the verge of collapse. Lee Dong-kyung scored the first goal with his left foot in the third round against Jeonbuk, scoring goals for three consecutive games. So far, Lee has led his team’s unbeaten streak with four goals and two assists in four league games, leading the league in scoring. Lee, whose scoring ability is on fire, is aiming for his fourth goal in a row.

Attention is focusing on whether Joo Min-kyu, a leading striker, will also score again. Joo has been particularly strong against Daejeon. Joo drew two dramatic draws, 3-3 with multiple goals in May 2023 and 1-1 with an equalizer on Sept. 16. Attention is focusing on whether he will give his team a victory with his first goal of the season after scoring a goal in the ACL against Banpo Re Gofu in February.

After completing its away match against Daejeon, Ulsan will play three consecutive games (the first leg of the semifinal match of Suwon FC, Gangwon FC, and Yokohama F. Marinos ACL). Ulsan aims to secure victory by playing two away matches for four days and return home to continue its cruise. 먹튀검증
