Anyang and Pohang are set to play in the 26th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Anyang Sports Complex on the 15th.
Anyang is in desperate need of a rebound. Anyang has been struggling with two wins, one draw and five losses in the last eight games, failing to get results. In the previous game against Jeonbuk Hyundai, he had the potential to push the leader Jeonbuk hard, but he failed to rebound easily and fell to 11th place. Anyang is glad to see Ivan Yukichi join at a time when the defense is gradually stabilizing due to the joining of Kwon Kyung-won. Only when Yukichi plays a role in the attack can he revitalize the team's offense along with Mota and Mateus.
Pohang has taken the opportunity to rise. Pohang lost three consecutive games and won Daegu and Gwangju and succeeded in winning consecutive games. Winning the previous two games without losing points is a good thing for Pohang, where defense was a concern. However, Ki Sung-yueng's departure is painful. Ki Sung-yueng has contributed to his reputation in the midfield since joining Pohang. Ki Sung-yueng suffered a microfracture of his ribs in the match against Gwangju and is inevitable to be absent for the time being. Fortunately, the gap in the midfield is expected to be minimized due to Kim Dong-jin, who has been ruled out due to the suspension, and Kim Jong-woo, who returned from injury.
Anyang coach Yoo Byung-hoon will play a 3-5-2 formation. Mota and Matheus will be at the forefront, and Choi Sung-beom, Kim Jung-hyun and Chae Hyun-woo will be at the center field. Wingbacks consist of Kim Dong-jin and Lee Tae-hee, and three-backs consist of Thomas, Kwon Kyung-won and Lee Chang-yong. The goal is defended by Kim Da-sol.
Pohang coach Park Tae-ha will face off in a 4-4-2 formation. Hong Yoon-sang and Lee Ho-jae are in the two-top, and Jorge, Auberdan, Kim Dong-jin and Kang Min-joon are in the midfield. Eo Jung-won, Park Seung-wook, Jeon Min-kwang, and Shin Kwang-hoon will protect the four backs. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Hwang In-jae.
