Anyang can capitalize on Jeju's away-day blues
Anyang to maintain good form
Sunday’s K-League 1 clash brings us to the FC Anyang vs Jeju United prediction, and it should be a close one, but the hosts can get the win.
FC Anyang have ridden a recent wave of momentum to lift them into a position of relative safety in the K-League 1 and coach Byeong-Hoon Ryu, who took over in December 2023, has done a good job of getting the best out of a newly promoted team and fostering a disciplined approach.
They have won only five, drawn three and lost six of their 14 home games in the K-League 1, but have conceded only 18 goals.
Anyang will sit deep and look to get men behind the ball when not in possession, looking to counterattack and play on the flanks when they can.
Bruno Mota is the main attacking outlet, scoring 11 times in 28 K-League 1 appearances this season, while Thomas Kotte has contributed two of their six goals in the last five games.
Our FC Anyang vs Jeju United preview suggests that the host's defensive discipline and efficiency up front may make the difference in this contest.
Jeju can’t be trusted on the road
Jeju United are having a pretty good season of their own, sitting just two points and two places behind their hosts, but Hak-Beom Kim has struggled to find a balance between the free-flowing 4-3-3 system that he favours and the defensive solidity needed to compete.
That is evident in the results, with Jeju United having won one, tied two and lost two of their last five, and especially in away games.
Jeju United have won only two of their 14 K-League 1 road games, tying five and losing seven, so it is hard to see them ending the FC Anyang vs Jeju United prediction of a mini-revival for the hosts.
The draw and defeat in their last two games came away at Daegu FC (2-2) and at home to Gwangju FC (1-0), which suggests they are not good at overcoming poor form and highlights the inconsistency that has hampered them this year.
Jeju will need talisman Yuri Jonathan to remain on fire to win this match, as he has eight goals in 24 league appearances, but has scored half of Jeju’s last four.
Anyang are slight favorites to clinch the victory
Given that FC Anyang have the home advantage, are on a winning streak and Jeju United have struggled on the road this term, it seems fair to have the hosts at 2.16 as the favorites and take the underdog Jeju United at 3.20.
This FC Anyang vs Jeju United prediction suggests the tie is 3.25, which is also a decent price, but we’re going with Anyang to edge a tight game, while an under 2.5 goals bet could be a value option if the teams cancel each other out.
Anyang have a compact and counter-attacking style, which should be good against Jeju’s attacking, wide-based system, so the transitions and wide areas should be where this game is won and lost. Based on current form, our FC Anyang vs Jeju United betting tips favor the hosts taking all three points.
