Round 13 of the 2026 Hana Bank K League 1 season is shaping up to be a pivotal weekend, with contrasting fortunes setting the stage for some thrilling matchups. FC Anyang will be desperate to reverse their recent slump when they host a red-hot Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors side chasing a fourth straight win. Meanwhile, Jeju SK are looking to build on a crucial victory in Round 12 as they eye a climb up the table, and Ulsan HD's star striker Marcão aims to keep his scoring streak alive after powering his team back to winning ways.
The headline clash sees FC Anyang (7th, 15 points) welcome Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors (2nd, 21 points) to the Anyang Sports Complex on Sunday, May 10th at 4:30 PM. Jeonbuk have dominated this fixture historically, winning all four previous meetings, including a 2-1 victory earlier this season. For Anyang, the challenge is clear: snap a two-game goal drought and finally get one over on the Green Warriors. The Violets will lean heavily on the creativity of Airton Moises and Kim Un in attack. Airton, who has bagged three goals in 11 appearances—tied with Matheus Oliveira for the club lead—will be looking to replicate his electrifying solo goal from Round 9 against Ulsan. This match could be the turning point Anyang desperately needs.
Jeonbuk, on the other hand, are flying high after a commanding 4-0 demolition of Gwangju on Children's Day. Goals from Oberdan, Kim Seung-seop, Tiago Orobo, and Lee Seung-woo showcased the team's attacking depth, with Oberdan and Kim netting their first of the season—a huge boost for the squad. The midfield engine of Oberdan, Kim Jin-gyu, Kang Sang-yoon, and Maeng Seong-ung, combined with the blistering pace of wingers Lee Seung-woo and Lee Dong-jun, will once again be the key to unlocking Anyang's defense. With three straight wins under their belt, Jeonbuk are firmly in the title race and will be confident of extending their streak.
Elsewhere, Jeju SK (9th, 15 points) are looking to build momentum after edging Bucheon FC 1995 1-0 in Round 12. That hard-fought win could be the spark they need to climb the table and rediscover their early-season form. As the K League 1 season heats up, every point matters—and for fans, this round promises plenty of drama, goals, and storylines worth following.
