<html> <head> <title>Ulsan Hyundai vs FC Anyang: Data-Led Match Preview & Betting Outlook</title> </head> <body> <h2>Ulsan Hyundai vs FC Anyang – Form Reversal Meets Rising Confidence</h2> <p>Two mid-table sides with contrasting trajectories meet at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium. Ulsan, historically a powerhouse, have labored this season and sit 9th, while Anyang—energized since their promotion—are a place above and buzzing after a positive run. With both teams near full strength and favorable weather, this has the feel of a tense, tactical battle that should open up after half-time.</p> <h3>Form and Momentum</h3> <p>Recent trends make compelling reading. Ulsan’s last eight league matches show 0.63 points per game, with goals conceded rising to 2.13 per match—59% above their season rate. Anyang, by contrast, are on a three-game winning streak, returning 1.50 points per game across the last eight, with a 27% jump in scoring output. The league’s form table reinforces the divergence: Anyang 6th over the last eight; Ulsan 12th.</p> <h3>Venue Splits and What They Mean</h3> <p>Ulsan’s home PPG is 1.29—moderate, not imposing—while Anyang’s away PPG is 1.07 with striking volatility (no away draws). The market has favored Ulsan at around 1.67 to win, but their home win rate stands at just 36% this season and their lead-defending rate at home is a modest 56%. Anyang’s away lead-defense matches that 56% and their attacking surge suggests they can threaten early and late.</p> <h3>Key Timings: Why the Second Half Matters</h3> <p>Both teams skew heavily to second-half action. Ulsan record 63% of their home goals after the break, and concede late too (10 goals against in minutes 76–90). Anyang’s away concessions are disproportionately in the second half (65%) while they also raid late (5 away goals in 76–90). Expect a cagy first period—Ulsan have drawn 71% of home first halves—before the game loosens.</p> <h3>Players to Watch</h3> <p>Anyang’s frontline has carried the load: Bruno Mota (11 league goals, 7 away) remains the reference point, with Matheus Oliveira (9) and the lively Yago César (recent scorer) providing threat in transition and off the bench. For Ulsan, Erick Farias leads with nine but hasn’t scored since late July, while Yool Heo and Gustav Ludwigson have chipped in. With Ulsan’s defensive structure wobbling in recent weeks, Mota versus Ulsan’s center-backs (anchored by Kim Young-Gwon) is a pivotal battle.</p> <h3>Tactical Themes</h3> <ul> <li>Ulsan under pressure to reassert front-foot identity after a dry spell; expect more verticality and early crosses to Marcão/Ludwigson to pin Anyang’s full-backs.</li> <li>Anyang’s counter-attacking lanes are potent, especially between lines and into channels for Mota/Oliveira; their set-piece efficiency has also improved during the current streak.</li> <li>Late substitutions: Jukić and Yago César have provided end-game impact—compatible with the second-half goal lean.</li> </ul> <h3>Market Read and Value</h3> <p>The price on Ulsan looks short relative to home performance and current form. Data points to Anyang being a live underdog with multiple avenues to a result. The second-half markets (highest scoring half; Anyang to score in 2H) align well with both teams’ timing profiles. BTTS is supported by Anyang’s 64% BTTS away and Ulsan’s defensive regression.</p> <h3>Best Bets Recap</h3> <ul> <li><strong>Draw or Anyang (Double Chance) @ 2.10</strong> – Ulsan’s home win rate (36%) and form downswing create value against a rising Anyang.</li> <li><strong>Anyang to Score First @ 2.70</strong> – Ulsan concede early at home; Anyang start fast on the road.</li> <li><strong>BTTS Yes @ 1.60</strong> – Strong BTTS trend with late-goal profiles on both sides.</li> <li><strong>2nd Half Highest Scoring @ 1.93</strong> – Both teams’ goal distributions spike after the interval.</li> </ul> <h3>Final Word</h3> <p>With sentiment favoring Anyang’s continued ascent and Ulsan searching for answers, the pricing leans too heavily toward a home rebound. The smarter angle is to side with the visitors not to lose, while positioning around second-half goal flow and both teams finding the net.</p> </body> </html>
