Preview: Ansan Mugunghwa v Seoul E-Land

Why are Ansan now named after a train? Have the Police taken over the railways? |
Previous Meetings:
The meetings last season in this one were pretty even with three of the four ending in draws and the other one being won by a single goal. There have also been a fair few penalties in meetings of the two sides so it might not be a surprise to see a spot-kick awarded in this one again.
18/4/15 Ansan 2 - 2 Seoul E-Land
Ko Kyung-min, Shin Hyung-min; Joo Min-kyu(2)
This was the game where Joo Min-kyu announced himself to E-Land fans with a pretty impressive double either side of two goals from Ansan one of which was a hotly disputed penalty.
28/6/15 Ansan 0 - 1 Seoul E-Land
Joo Min-kyu
Joo Min-kyu was the hero again here as he gave E-Land the win with the only goal of the game in what had been a fairly even encounter.

Johnson, Joo Min-kyu; Choi Young-jun, Seo Dong-hyun
All the action in this one came at the end of the match. Cho Young-jun had opened the scoring for Ansan in 62 minutes but Ryan Johnson (remember him?) scored his one and only goal for the club to make it 11 after 82 minutes. A 93rd minute penalty from Seo Dong-hyeon looked as if it had won it for Ansan but within seconds of the restart Joo Min-kyu had levelled things.
23/9/15 Seoul E-Land 1 - 1 Ansan
Tarabai; Seo Dong-hyeon
The late show once again as a late goal and an even later goal split the difference between the two sides in their final meeting of the season. Seo Dong-hyeon bagged an 82nd minute effort but Tarabai picked up a soft-ish 95th minute penalty to rescue a point.
Line-ups and Key men:
E-Land gave a few fringe players a run out midweek but I expect to see them back to full strength in this one. That should see Tarabai and Joo Min-kyu re-instated to the starting eleven. Joomes got off the mark last week against Goyang and apologised to his team-mates for leaving it so long into the season. He seems to enjoy scoring against Ansan so he might be key again in this one. Presumably the 4-3-3 will remain but Belusso is apparently suspended for this one so there will be a question on whether Ahn Tae-hyun, Cho Woo-jin or Kim Min-je takes his place. I'd be tempted to go with the latter to see if it can help with width and delivery into the box but his goal midweek might be enough to convince Rennie to go with Ahn.

Gyeongnam didn't really know what hit them last weekend but Ansan looked on top form |
Prediction:
Will Ansan's fan be singing at full-time? |
