Pohang vs Anyang Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 18 October 2026
🔊 Pohang host a meeting between one of K League 1's weakest attacks and one of its most unreliable defences. Only bottom side Gwangju have scored fewer than the hosts and conceded more than Anyang. Yet both clubs are still in contention for the top six: Pohang are three points off the cut, Anyang two. With this being the penultimate round before the table splits, the loser will only keep their chances alive if those around them slip up. Whose weakness will prove greater?

Pohang beat Anyang 3-2 in their most recent K League head-to-head meeting. The shot count was nearly even - 9 to 8 - but Pohang had more shots on target: 6 to 4.
Pohang have won five of their seven meetings with Anyang, losing just once. Their away record against Anyang is particularly strong: four wins and a draw in five matches, with a goal difference of 10-2.
Head-to-head statistics Pohang - Anyang
Pohang Team Overview
During the week, Pohang lost to Johor in the Champions League (0:2). Both goals came after the break. The visitors had a significant edge in shots - 20 to 9 - though Pohang led on corners, 8 to 3.
Pohang are heading into the final stretch of the regular season without a goal in their last two matches. Their attack has been weak throughout the campaign, with 28 goals in 31 league games. In Incheon they conceded three times before half-time and lost 0-3. After the match, the manager apologised: "To lose by that margin is a great disrespect to our supporters."
Four days later, in the AFC Champions League, Pohang again failed to score. Defender Jeon Min-gwan was sent off on the 45th minute, and down to ten men the side lost to Malaysian club Johor 0-2. Since the end of August, Pohang have one win in eight official matches and sit ninth in the table.
Match Results: Pohang
Anyang Team Overview
In their last K League match, Anyang won away at Sanju 1-0, scoring the only goal before half-time. The shot count was almost level at 12-11 in Anyang's favour, while Sanju had nine corners to Anyang's one but failed to score.
Anyang arrive in Pohang on the back of two consecutive wins, and the second of them was particularly notable. In Gimcheon, Yoo Byung-hoon's side kept a clean sheet for the first time in three months. For a team that had conceded 47 goals in 31 matches, that is a significant moment.
In August, Anyang lost 0-7 to Seoul, and the Korean press began talking about the manager being sacked. The win in Gimcheon came courtesy of a single goal from Knežević, who joined the club during the season. According to Yoo Byung-hoon, the new signing took time to settle, but is now linking defence and attack. After the match, the manager was already looking ahead: "The fight for the top six isn't over yet, so we'll be preparing to beat Pohang as well."
Match Results: Anyang
Corner Kick Prediction
Pohang don't take many corners: they had six or more in just one of their last eight matches. Against Anyang the bar is even lower - in the last five head-to-head meetings, Pohang never took more than four. The bet would survive even five corners from the hosts. Our pick: Pohang Team Total Corners - Under 5.5.
Reliable Bet
Anyang have failed to score away from home just once in their last ten matches. Pohang, meanwhile, have conceded ten goals at home across their last ten matches. The bet only needs a single goal from the visitors. The pick is Anyang Team Total - Over 0.5.
Correct Score Prediction
According to the algorithm's calculations, the most likely outcomes are: 1:0 (12.46%), 1:1 (12.2%) and 0:0 (9.92%). All three point to a low-scoring match.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Pohang's home matches tend to be low-scoring: in 15 consecutive K League matches there, both teams combined for fewer than four goals. Anyang concede a lot, but more than three goals have been scored in only one of their last seven league matches. The bet lands at any scoreline with three goals or fewer. We're expecting a cautious game with one or two goals. The bet is Total Goals - Under 3.0. Predicted score: 1-1
