Ulsan Hyundai
- Ulsan Hyundai are set to host the Thai League leaders Buriram United FC in an important AFC Champions League 2025-2026 six-pointer on Wednesday.
- This Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i vs Buriram United FC prediction focuses on their recent inconsistency: Ulsan Hyundai have lost 2, won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 5, but are unbeaten in their last 2 at home.
- Ulsan are in the midst of another turbulent campaign with interim manager Noh Sang-rae’s immediate task to try and steady the ship and get some results to keep them in the league.
- So far, he has concentrated on getting results and getting the team organised at the back.
- Ulsan have a high-tempo, transition-based approach to the game with lots of pressing and width from their wing-backs.
Buriram United
- Buriram United are in better form and have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 AFC Champions League Elite group stage fixtures.
- Mark Jackson took over the club in October 2025 and has carried on the attacking style of football that Buriram have been famous for in recent seasons.
- Their front line is physical and pacy, but they have the quality in the middle to play through their front two to maintain possession and create chances.
Head-to-Head
Suphanat Mueanta , the winner of the only previous meeting between these two clubs, is still going strong and has the pace to get at the opposing defence in the late stages when he seems to have a knack of being in the right place at the right time.
Key Players
- Buriram:
- Peter Žulj and Goran Čaušić provide the creativity from set-pieces and set up the clinical finishers.
- The veteran Curtis Good and Neil Etheridge provide the stability and experience in defence.
- Ulsan:
- Erick Farias is Ulsan's leading scorer in 2025, while Um Won-Sang provides assists; Gustav Ludwigson has popped up with goals when his team needed them most, and he should be a handful for Buriram’s defence on Wednesday.
