Predictions & Betting Tips

Anyang’s manager has it all to do

Manager Byeong-Hoon Ryu is yet to win over his critics at FC Anyang, who have won just three, drawn two and lost four of their nine home league games in K-League 1 2025. The Anyang-based side have failed to win in their four most recent home matches (2 draws, 2 losses) and are coming off back-to-back defeats that have put the coach under pressure. Anyang were beaten 2-0 at Jeonbuk last weekend and 0-2 at home by Pohang on Monday and they now sit ninth in the table on 17 points from 16 games. According to our FC Anyang vs Daejeon Citizen prediction, Daejeon Citizen are top of the pile on 31 points, having played the same number of games. Sun-Hong Hwang has had an immediate effect since taking charge of Daejeon Citizen on 3rd June, 2024, guiding the club to a much-needed victory in his second game. Their form since has been mixed (W1, D2, L2) but they will be coming into Saturday’s clash on a high after beating Daegu FC 2-1 at home three days ago.

Daejeon have a real striker on their books

Daejeon Citizen are narrow favorites at 2.47 for this game, while FC Anyang are 2.81 to take the win. Instead of relying solely on odds, the FC Anyang vs Daejeon Citizen prediction points towards better value in the goals markets as neither club have given much away in their public scouting reports. Daejeon Citizen’s away attack is certainly formidable as they are currently averaging 2.00 goals per game away from home while only conceding 1.25 per game on the road in K-League 1. FC Anyang have hit only 1.22 goals per home match this term, scoring 11 goals in front of their own fans, so it’s a tricky one to call. Daejeon Citizen’s form on the away is certainly more impressive than FC Anyang’s home record and they have a quality finisher in Min-Kyu Joo who can score the goals that his team needs. The FC Anyang vs Daejeon Citizen preview suggests these attacking statistics might be key in deciding the outcome. Bruno Mota leads the line for the home side with six goals in 16 K-League 1 appearances and remains FC Anyang’s biggest goal threat.

Anyang are in a downward spiral

This should be a tense clash between a Daejeon side that is extremely effective on the move and an Anyang team that are desperate to arrest their three-game losing run. The FC Anyang vs Daejeon Citizen prediction strengthens the view that Daejeon have the quality to nick it and we’re backing them to add another three points to their total here, as they did when they beat Anyang 2-1 three weeks ago. Daejeon’s last away defeat was a 1-0 reverse in K-League 1, their only loss of the season on their travels, so we’re not expecting any more than a couple of goals. The ‘Under 2.5 Goals’ market appeals in this spot given Daejeon’s average of 2.00 goals scored and 1.25 goals conceded on the way. For further insight, our FC Anyang vs Daejeon Citizen betting tips also recommend caution with expectations for a high-scoring affair.
