A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Korean Republic : K-League 1
Venue : Suwon World Cup Stadium
Sunday 17th May 2020, 1630hrs
An opening day 1-0 defeat away from home at Jeonbuk Motors in this weekend’s K-League 1 return to action became Suwon Bluewings’ second defeat on the trot in the domestic top flight after they finished last term on a low note, losing 4-1 away from home at Sangju Sangmu.
However, although Suwon Bluewings now return to their Suwon World Cup Stadium for this upcoming clash against Ulsan Hyundai, things don’t get any easier as they face last season’s runners-up in the domestic top flight, along with recording just 2 wins out of their last 11 matches overall.
Suwon registered wins against Gyeongnam 2-1 at home and a 4-2 victory on the road at relegated Jeju United, but overall, the hosts have struggled for positive results in recent times.
With just 2 wins from their last 9 matches at home, this Sunday’s clash against Ulsan Hyundai looks another tough proposition for the hosts.
Onto Ulsan Hyundai, and the visitors will be desperate to go one step better this time around in the K-League 1 after being narrowly edged out for the league title by rivals, Jeonbuk Motors, on goal difference.
Nevertheless, Ulsan Hyundai managed to put last season’s disappointment behind them on the opening day of this new term as they recorded a crushing 4-0 victory over Sangju Sangmu at home which will give them momentum heading into Sunday’s encounter at Suwon Bluewings.
With just 2 defeats out of their last 13 matches overall in K-League 1, Ulsan Hyundai are expected to be amongst the serious contenders for this season’s league title again, and they’ve also performed well on the road too, winning 3 of their last 4 matches on their travels.
A 2-0 win last time at Suwon was followed by wins at Daegu 2-1 and a 1-0 win at Seoul, while the visitors have won 4 of the previous 5 meetings against Suwon, which includes winning their last two matches away from home on the trot at Sunday’s hosts.
The Betting Verdict
It looks like being another tough day at the office for Suwon Bluewings while Ulsan Hyundai will be eyeing off another three points here.
The Pick :
Suwon Bluewings 1-2 Ulsan Hyundai
