Ulsan Hyundai vs Yokohama F. Marinos Predictions

An entertaining semi-final seems likely in a battle of two of Asia's strongest sides.

I'm backing both teams to score while I also like Ulsan's chances of claiming a first-leg advantage in South Korea.

Ulsan have won 6 of their last 7 home matches (AFC Champions League)
Ulsan have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 8 matches (AFC Champions League)
Yokohama F. Marinos have lost 2 of their last 6 away matches (AFC Champions League)
Yokohama F. Marinos have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches (AFC Champions League)

Head to Head

Ulsan and Yokohama Marinos will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

Ulsan Hyundai Form

Ulsan come into Wednesday's AFC Champions League buoyed by successive home victories in the K League 1. Hong Myung-Bo's side followed up a 3-0 win against Suwon earlier this month with a convincing 4-0 victory against Gangwon this past weekend.

Seven games into their domestic campaign, the K League 1 champions sit third in the division with 14 points picked up (W4, D2, L1).

The Tigers secured a place in the AFC Champions League with a hard-fought 2-1 aggregate victory against Jeonbuk Motors last month. Hong Myung-Bo's side have lost just one of their last 20 home matches in Asia's premier competition.

Ulsan Hyundai Team News

Hong Myung-Bo has no reported injury issues ahead of Wednesday's vital first-leg contest in Ulsan. Min-Kyu Joo is set to lead the attack after his double strike in Saturday's comfortable win against Gangwon.

Yokohama F Marinos Form

Yokohama F Marinos arrive in South Korea after a disappointing 2-2 draw against Shonan Bellmare in the J1 League. Harry Kewell's side have now failed to win three of their last four home matches in Japan's top flight.

The Marinos booked their ticket for the AFC Champions League semi-finals after a 3-1 aggregate success against Chinese opponents Shandong Taishan.

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent in Yokohama's Champions League away matches this season. Each of their last four on the road saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.

Yokohama F Marinos Team News

Head coach Kewell has a strong squad available ahead of Wednesday's trip to Ulsan. Katsuya Nagato is the only expected absentee for the Japanese side.

In-form Brazilian forward Anderson Lopes will spearhead the Marinos' attack. The 30-year-old has scored five goals in his last seven AFC Champions League contests.

Verdict

Ulsan v Yokohama F. Marinos

Ulsan can maintain their fine home form in a likely tasty contest at the Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium.

I'm backing Ulsan to win, with BTTS also expected in South Korea.
