Thai League 1 champions Buriram United take on South Korea’s FC Seoul in an AFC Champions League Elite away game on Tuesday.
FC Seoul drew their opener 1-1 with Japan’s Machida Zelvia while Buriram United came from behind to defeat Malaysian Johor Darul Ta’zim 2-1.
The South Korean club will not only have the home ground advantage but will also be backed by an unbeaten record against the Thunder Castle.
Buriram coach Osmar Loss told a news conference on Monday: “In the AFC Champions League Elite, every game is tough, and we have to play as an away team. We confirm that our target is to pick up at least a point from this game.”
Rabbits tame Port
Surachat Sareepim had a double as BG Pathum United defeated Port 2-0 in a Thai League 1 encounter at home on Sunday night.
Port wasted a big opportunity in the 33rd minute when Warit Choothong committed a foul on Brayan Perea in the penalty area but the Colombian forward’s strike from the spot was stopped by Pathum goalkeeper Saranon Anuin.
The Rabbits got their first goal in the 45+2 minute when Surachat Sareepim’s header sailed into the net. Surachat then beat an offside trap shortly after the break to make it 2-0 for the hosts.
In other games, hosts Ratchaburi lost 1-0 to Bangkok United and Nakhon Ratchasima were held 1-1 at home by Muang Thong United.
