Buriram United and Gangwon FC lock horns at the Chang Arena on Tuesday for their clash in the group stages of the 2025-26 AFC Champions League. Both teams reside in the bottom half of the table following an underwhelming run in the campaign and desperately need to pick up wins before it is too late.
With seven points from five games, the Thunder Castle are down in eighth position in the East Region standings, the last knockout spot.
They now come into the fixture on the back of consecutive domestic wins over Ratchaburi FC (2-0) and Kanchanaburi Power (3-1), which gives them renewed momentum for their Champions League push.
Gangwon are just a place below them in the table, having collected one point fewer. Their last two games in the competition have ended in defeats too, as the K League side went down to a pair of Japanese teams: 1-0 vs Sanfrecce Hiroshima and 3-1 vs Machida Zelvia.
Trending
But the side managed to cut themselves some slack with a 1-0 win over Pohang Steelers in the league last weekend, as Mo Jae-hyeon struck the only goal of the game in the 61st minute.
