Shanghai Shenhua vs Ulsan Hyundai FC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Ulsan are yet to register a point in the competition

After their narrow loss against Gwangju FC last week, Shanghai Shenhua will host Ulsan Hyundai FC on Matchday six of the AFC Champions League Elite. Shanghai Shenhua club are currently sixth in group A of the competition. They have accumulated seven points from their opening five matches with two wins, two losses, and a draw. The Flower of Shanghai have struggled defensively in the competition as they have conceded seven goals already. Head coach Leonid Slutsky has done an exemplary job with the team ever since his arrival, but he needs to find a solution to the team’s ongoing defensive problems.

Ulsan Hyundai FC on the other hand are sitting at the bottom of the group. They have lost all of their games in the ongoing AFC Champions League Elite campaign. Their opponents have breached their defense 13 times and the Tigers have only managed to find the back of the net once in the entire competition. With just three games remaining, their chances of qualifying for the next round are very slim.
