Anyan - Seoul
When: 12:00
Where: South Korea K-League 1
Anyan
Anyan is a real enigma this season. They occupy 6th place in the standings but show extremely inconsistent form with five wins and seven losses from 12 games – without any draws. Their matches tend to be high-scoring, averaging 2.42 goals per game, with them scoring and conceding around 1.2 goals per match both offensively and defensively. Recent results reflect their ups and downs, with a pattern of loss, win, and loss again. Defensively, they appear vulnerable, often losing control between the lines, but creatively use their wings in attack, although their chance conversion often leaves much to be desired. At home, they can perform particularly strongly, while away they often appear less convincing.
Seoul
Seoul has great potential and currently ranks 8th in the league, having played only 10 games. With just three wins but four draws, the team shows a rather pragmatic style and tends to share points. The playing style is more defensive and characterized by low scoring, with an average of only 1.9 goals per match. The offense is underdeveloped: only 0.9 goals on average per game, often lacking penetration and decisiveness in attack. Defensively, they are reorganized but have weaknesses against quick counterattacks and long-range shots. Their possession phases often show little progress and lack real impact, indicating a lack of dynamism.
Injuries
All Anyan players are fit and available, which is a big advantage and raises hopes for the best possible lineup. Seoul is missing Sang-min Lee due to injury, which further weakens their already limited offensive power and is likely to cause headaches for the coaching staff.
Head-to-Head
The direct history is sparse but insightful: The last match played on February 22, 2025, was narrowly won by Seoul 2-1 against Anyan. This victory shows that Seoul can be successful against this opponent, although often in tight games with few goals.
Match Prediction
In summary, the offensive but inconsistent Anyan meet the defensively oriented but offensively weak Seoul. Bookmakers see Seoul as the favorite and fairly price their chances of winning, which is understandable given recent performances and the direct comparison. Anyan may be unpredictable and capable of scoring, but Seoul, despite their weak offense, have the necessary defense to secure results. A low-scoring game with tactical probing is to be expected, where every goal will be valuable. Therefore, a bet on a Seoul win (odds 1.88) is a recommended choice that sensibly takes into account the teams’ form, playing style, and expert opinion.
My Tip: Win Seoul (1.88)
