This is the first-ever meeting between them.
Fluminense Preview
Brazil’s Fluminense has been one of many Brazilian teams to put on a good showing so far at the CWC. they held German giants Dortmund to just a 0-0 draw while outshooting them 14-7 and 5-3 in shots on target. They held Dortmund to just 0.24 of xG.
It’s a so-so start for Fluminense though in the Brazil Serie A. They’re 6-2-3, good enough for 6th place with 20 points and just 4 back of 1st-place Flamengo.
Their games have been tight, scoring 15, allowing 12 and being 7-4 to Under 2.5.
In the Copa Sudamericana, they finished 1st in their group at 4-1-1, scoring 11 and allowing 2. Their into the Round of 16 in that tournament and also for the Copa do Brasil.

It’s hard to pick a standout player on the side as 12 players have goals but … 11 of those players have just 1. Only Kevin Serna with 3, has multiple. Jhon Arias had 1G/4A so had been the main set up man. Arias had 3 attempts and 1 on target vs Dortmund.
Ulsan Hyundai Preview

Mamelodi led in possesion with 68% and shots 14-9. But it was Ulsan who had more shots on target at 3-2.

Ulsan are 3rd in Korea’s K League 1, at 8-5-6, scoring 23 goals and allowing 19. The title seems potentially out of reach as they’re currently 9 points back of Jeonbuk for 1st. They had won it in each of the previous 3 seasons though.
Erick, from Brazil, is Ulsan’s top scorer with 8 goals in 14 league games, 9 goals in all comps.
Ulsan’s last game was 3-1 loss on May 31 before the CWC. That was their first loss in 6 games. But their form has been all over the place at 3-3-2 in their last 8 games now, while the BTTS is 7-1, they’ve scored in 10/12, and conceded in 9/11.
