Ulsan Hyundai host Kawasaki Frontale in Group I of the AFC Champions League. The South Korean side still needs to grab points to be one of the best second-placed teams in the tournament, so they are bound to have a high level of motivation, and they have won all their last four AFC Champions League home games, so they are expected to be able to beat Kawasaki Frontale, who have already secured the right to leave the tournament early. (Tuesday 6pm kick-off)
Ulsan Hyundai are sure to finish 2nd in Group I. Since only 3 teams in the East Asia region can be the best second place to qualify for the round of 16, Ulsan Hyundai, Jeonbuk Motors in Group F, Incheon United in Group G have 9 points in hand, and Melbourne City in Group H have 8 points, so Ulsan Hyundai will be out of the tournament at any time if they lose points in the game, and will be fighting for the win with their backs to the wall. Ulsan Hyundai have the advantage of winning all of their last 4 AFC Champions League home matches, scoring 12 goals in total, with 3 of them netting 2 goals or more, making their performance very convincing, and I believe they can continue their strong trend.
