National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Anyang or Daegu that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Anyang nor Daegu as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Anyang form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the Korean Cup for Anyang, as the manager H. Kim led his troops to eliminate Goyang Citizen, and reach the 3rd Round. Last season, Anyang's Korean Cup journey ended in the 8th finals.Anyang have played three K League 2 home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.
Anyang drew their last game, 3-3 away at Daejeon Citizen. Heartbreak before that as Anyang lost 2-3 at Suwon's place.
Anyang salvaged the draw from a difficult situation against Daejeon Citizen, trailing 0-2 at one point. Not giving up resulted in Maurides equalizing. A goal frenzy last time out for Anyang, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Daejeon Citizen. Fun stuff to watch! The hometeam coach H. Kim made a successful contribution in the game against Daejeon Citizen, bringing on Maurides who scored the equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Jeju United are coming to town in four days.
Anyang are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Anyang defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
