Gimcheon, on the other hand, has shown growing midfield control and stronger finishing at home. Given the home advantage, team balance, and scoring edge, Gimcheon Sangmu FC has a narrow upper hand in this matchup. A closely contested game could end in a narrow win for the hosts or even a draw if Ulsan tightens their structure early on.
