FC Anyang Backed to Take Points Away at Bucheon
Both teams dropped points in their last match, but FC Anyang's stronger away form and healthier goal difference give them the edge. Bucheon FC come into this one winless in three league games.
Team news: Bucheon FC are expected to be without Kim Kyu-min and Takahashi Ikki, while FC Anyang will again be missing Ivan Zukic.
Bucheon FC lost 3-1 at home to FC Seoul in their previous match. Against clearly stronger opposition, Bucheon spent most of the game on the back foot and had far less possession, only managing a consolation goal as FC Seoul took all three points.
FC Anyang drew 1-1 at home with FC Gwangju last time out. They looked set to claim all three points, but conceded late on and let two valuable points slip away, missing a good chance to improve their position in the table.
Although both sides were disappointed in their last outing, Anyang have shown they possess resilience and they hold a positive goal difference, which compares favourably to Bucheon's minus-six. Bucheon are also winless in their last three league matches, while Anyang have the third-best away record in the league.
In the first meeting between the sides this season, Bucheon beat Anyang 1-0. However, in the nine meetings before that, Anyang were unbeaten with six wins and three draws.
