Ulsan Hyundai FC hosts Gangwon FC on 1 November 2026 at 08:00 in K League 1. Ulsan sit ninth of twelve teams this season after winning the title in 2024, and the pressure is mounting. Their last outing ended 2–2 at home against Pohang Steelers, with Kim Yong-gwon and Lee Dong-kyun scoring inside the opening eight minutes before Ulsan's defence collapsed again. Recent losses to Gwangju (3–4) and Anyang (1–2) show a pattern: Ulsan can score but cannot hold leads. Gangwon arrive as the away side in a fixture where Ulsan have dominated the head-to-head record.
Form and H2H
Ulsan's last ten matches show four wins, two draws, and four losses at home, averaging 1.50 goals for and 1.40 against. Gangwon have won twice, drawn six, and lost twice on the road, averaging 0.90 goals for and 0.80 against. The head-to-head record strongly favours Ulsan: they have won four of six meetings since 2018, including three straight victories in 2019 and a 3–0 away win in June 2020. Gangwon's only result against Ulsan was a goalless draw in March 2019.
Best bet
Ulsan will not lose. Despite their defensive fragility this season, Ulsan's home record and historical dominance over Gangwon make a draw or win the most likely outcome. Gangwon's away form is passive—six draws in ten matches—and they have never beaten Ulsan in six attempts. Back Ulsan not to lose.
Odds to watch
No partner prices are currently available for this fixture. Monitor the 1X2 market as kickoff approaches, and watch for movement on Ulsan's win odds given their home advantage and Gangwon's weak away record. The Under 1.5 goals market may offer value given Gangwon's defensive setup on the road, though Ulsan's recent high-scoring draws suggest caution on totals.
