Kuala Lumpur: The AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27™ Matchday Predictor returns for Matchday 3, giving fans another opportunity to put their football knowledge to the test.  
With fresh prediction challenges, exciting prizes and more twists expected across Asia’s premier club competition, every detail could make the difference.

Matchday 2 concluded: What happened? 
It was an eventful matchday. And we have our winners for this season’s AFC Champions League Elite 2026/27 Matchday Two, a team-signed jersey and a US$50 e-gift card. 

Buriram United struggled to score not only the first half as the Matchday Two question given, the Thai League outfit conceded a late Beijing FC’s Fabrio Abreu’s goal.

Meanwhile, a big shout-out to the correct participants who excellently predicted the outcome of 9-12 shots made during Kashiwa Reysol's big win against Port FC. Six goals were scored, and nine shots were taken (6 for the J-League side and 3 for the visitors from Thailand) - two thumbs up for getting this question right.  

Another Hard question was for last season's semifinalist Vissel Kobe's Shuichi Gonda: did the Japanese shotstopper have to make six saves? It was close enough, but the correct answer was no, as Gonda made only four saves in his side's two-nil victory over K-League outfit Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor FC.  
Predictions for Matchday 3 are in 
Heads up, AFC Champions League Elite Predictors! Your next quest is here. 

In the third round of matches of the league phase, all eyes are on the man, the legend, and the one and only Cristiano Ronaldo, as the question is whether Al Nassr Club's marksman will score his next goal during Al Wasl FC's visit.  

Another man on target on Matchday Two, Al Hilal SFC's Ollie Watkins will be in the slip, but this time, will the English striker provide an assist? Take note, because this is categorized as Hard.
