Preview: FC Machida Zelvia (JPN) v Ulsan HD (KOR)
Machida: FC Machida Zelvia and Ulsan HD will be equally desperate for three points when they face off in the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/25™ on Tuesday.
Tied on eight points, Japan's Machida sit third in the East Zone standings while Korea Republic's Ulsan HD are sixth.

Machida got their campaign back on track with a 3-1 win against Korea Republic's Gangwon FC on Matchday Five.

It was a victory that followed their Emperor's Cup triumph over Vissel Kobe and they will fancy their chances against an Ulsan HD side they will be meeting for the first time.

The AFC Champions League Elite debutants ended their domestic campaign with a 2-1 defeat against Kashiwa Reysol on Saturday for a sixth-placed finish and will want to conclude their season with a win that will leave them nicely placed to advance to the Round of 16.

Ulsan HD will be aiming to end their season on a high after a difficult campaign which saw them not only relinquishing their domestic title but also having to play in the relegation playoff group.

They did enjoy a good start on the continent but will head into the tie having only picked up a point from their last two matches - in which they failed to score.

Their recent track record against Japanese teams is also not impressive, with the two-time Asian champions having won only one of their last six meetings.

Venue: Machida Stadium (Machida)
Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+9)
