Ulsan Hyundai's strong team should not be underestimated, and Gwangju FC's defeats are the best evidence of that. This season, Gwangju FC was riding high in the AFC Champions League, finishing in second place and enjoying a bright future. However, in the local league, they suffered a double blow from Ulsan Hyundai, with two consecutive defeats shattering their dream of competing for the title, and dropping into the relegation abyss ahead of schedule. It makes you wonder how strong the teams in the Korean league really are. However, what is puzzling is that these teams don't seem to be as enthusiastic about the AFC Champions League as they are about the league. So, how Ulsan Hyundai will show their home form in this match is the center of attention.
Shandong Taishan will face Malaysia's Johor Bahru. Johor Bahru is a good team, with a record of two wins, one draw and one loss, ranking fourth in the table. Especially notable is that their defense is solid, the number of goals conceded is only after Kobe Victory and Kawasaki Vanguard, is the East Asian group in the most solid defense team. Facing such a team, Shandong Taishan's offense will face a great challenge, while the team also needs to properly solve the problem of injuries.
Unfortunately, as CCTV has not been awarded the broadcasting rights for this season's AFC Champions League, we will not be able to see the match live on the CCTV platform. Today's CCTV program list does not appear in the relevant tournament information, we can only turn to other video platforms to focus on the performance of the Chinese Super League team in the AFC Champions League.
