Gwangju FC (home)
- Gwangju FC have won just once, drawn four and lost nine of their 14 home matches in K-League 1 2026 and their own back yard has not been a fortress for Jeong-Kyu Lee's men this year.
- However, the new boss could get a bit of joy against an FC Anyang side that are yet to reach their full potential in 2026.
- The Violets have a sharper edge in the table, currently occupying ninth with 34 points from 27 games, whereas Gwangju FC sit 12th with 13 points from the same number of games.
- Recent form has been mixed for Gwangju FC, who have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, but the 2-5 home defeat to FC Seoul last weekend was a serious wake-up call.
FC Anyang (away)
- FC Anyang's form is only slightly better than Gwangju's, but they have shown a greater capacity to grind out results, as seen in their 2-1 home win over Incheon United FC and 1-1 away draw at Bucheon FC 1995.
- Gwangju FC will generally look to play with the ball and get men behind the defensive line, whereas FC Anyang like to push the ball forward and mix up their pressing to get the turnovers.
- This fixture should be open and the Violets are more capable of catching Gwangju on the counter-attack.
