Suwon City FC welcomes Ulsan Hyundai FC to the Suwon Sports Complex on March 16, 2025, for what promises to be a thrilling K League 1 clash. With Ulsan Hyundai favored at 2.1 odds for the win, can Suwon City pull off an upset, or will the visitors assert their dominance?

Looking at the numbers, Ulsan Hyundai holds the upper hand. Our AI recommends backing X2 (Ulsan Hyundai to win or draw) at 1.3 odds, with a trust rating of 4.6/10. While not the most confident pick, it aligns with Ulsan’s superior squad value of €15.57m and their expected 58% possession. Suwon City, on the other hand, is projected to control just 42% of the ball, making it difficult for them to dictate play.

Our 1x2 prediction leans towards an Ulsan Hyundai victory (trust rating: 3.6/10), and the AI-generated final score is 1-2. Historically, Suwon City has struggled against Ulsan, with their last head-to-head meeting ending in a 1-1 draw. However, Ulsan’s ability to grind out results on the road makes them the logical choice.

For goal markets, the AI suggests under 3.5 goals at 1.35 odds (confidence: 3.4/10). This aligns with league trends, where only 25.3% of matches exceed the 3.5-goal mark. Expect a measured approach from both sides, with Suwon City taking 17 shots (5 on target) and Ulsan Hyundai attempting 12 (4 on target).

Set-piece situations could play a key role, with Ulsan predicted to earn six corners compared to Suwon’s three. Discipline-wise, a relatively clean game is expected, with just one yellow card per team.

While Suwon City has a respectable home record, K League 1 stats show that home teams win only 37.9% of the time, while away sides take 30.6% of victories. With Ulsan’s quality and possession advantage, backing them to avoid defeat (X2) seems the safest bet.

Final verdict? Expect a competitive match, but Ulsan Hyundai’s efficiency should see them edge past Suwon City. If you’re looking for value, consider the away win at 2.1 odds or under 3.5 goals for a safer play.
