FC Anyang and Ulsan HD are locked in a fierce battle to secure their place in the K-League 1. With both teams struggling this season, every match is crucial as they fight to avoid relegation.
Anyang vs Ulsan: A Fight for Survival
Anyang currently sits in eighth place with 42 points (12 wins, 6 draws, 16 losses), while Ulsan is just behind in ninth with 41 points (10 wins, 11 draws, 13 losses). This upcoming match at Anyang Sports Complex in the 35th round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 (second round of the final round) is a direct showdown for eighth position.
Anyang will be counting on key players like Mota, Matheus, and Thomas to lead their attack. Ulsan, on the other hand, welcomes back Lee Dong-kyung from his military service with Gimcheon Sangmu, hoping he can reignite their season.
Ulsan Welcomes Back Lee Dong-kyung
Lee Dong-kyung's return is a significant boost for Ulsan. After a stellar performance during his military service, where he scored 13 goals and provided 11 assists in 34 appearances for Gimcheon Sangmu, he's eager to help Ulsan climb up the table. Lee stated, “Now that I’m back, I want to follow the team’s direction and help us finish the season as high as possible.”
Ulsan has faced a turbulent season with two managerial changes, but acting coach Noh Sang-rae has shown promise, leading the team to consecutive wins recently. Can they maintain this momentum against a determined Anyang side?
Can Anyang Break Their Losing Streak?
Anyang's form has dipped recently after an unbeaten run, losing their last match against Gwangju FC. They need to rediscover their winning mentality to secure vital points in this crucial encounter. The home advantage could play a key role in their performance.
