Seoul vs Anyang: Team News and Expert Analysis
Last season, the Seoul club qualified for the championship group but finished last, in sixth place. However, after the break, they won against most opponents and took the lead at the top of the table (although they drew with Anyang) — their first loss only came in the eighth round. After that, they resumed their winning ways, strengthening their lead. Unexpectedly, in the previous round, they lost 2-3 at home to Gimcheon.
Anyang ended up with the same 49 points as their next opponent, but they played out the season in the relegation group and thus finished only eighth. Victories remain rare for them this season as well; more often they lose or at best draw. They only came alive in the second half of April, beating Pohang and Gwangju. However, they lost to Bucheon in their most recent match.
The capital’s footballers score an average of 2.09 goals per match while conceding 0.82. Anyang, in turn, scores 1.27 and concedes 1.09 goals per game.
