Second-placed Ulsan Hyundai host ninth-placed Pohang Steelers in the final matchday of the 2026 K League regular season before the table splits into the Championship Round and the Relegation Round. The Tigers are the most potent home attacking side in the division and have scored at least twice in five of their last six at home. Our prediction backs more of the same here.
Ulsan are battling for automatic AFC qualification, their 50 points leaving them three clear of both Jeonbuk and Gangwon. They arrive off a 2-1 home win over Bucheon, overturning an early deficit against 10 men to take all three points.
It snapped a two-match losing streak for the Tigers, who picked up their ninth home league win as they continued their fine scoring form. Ulsan have found the net eight times in their last four games and have scored in seven of their last eight overall.
It’s been a strange season for Pohang, who have had to deal with disruptions to their usual home ground. With just six scored and 11 conceded in 14 home matches, they have been a much more open side on the road.
The Steelers have a 7-4-7 away record, conceding 26 and scoring 22. They arrive after a 0-0 home draw with Anyang, meaning they have won just once in nine across all competitions.

Our Ulsan HD FC vs Pohang Steelers Prediction
The argument against this selection is that Pohang defend well, ranking fourth in the division for xGA. However, that figure is largely built on a home record where they’ve conceded just 11. On the road, they’re a different story, allowing 26 goals in 18 matches.
Ulsan, meanwhile, have proven to be one of the best attacking sides in the K League, which is even more pronounced when they're playing at the Ulsan Munsu Stadium. They’re in a good rhythm at the moment, and we expect their scoring run to continue here. Our Ulsan vs Pohang Steelers prediction: Ulsan team total over 1.5.
