AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: FC Seoul (KOR) v Buriram United (THA)

Seoul: FC Seoul will have to brace themselves for a buoyant Buriram United when the sides meet in the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 on Tuesday.

FC Seoul drew their opener 1-1 with Japan's Machida Zelvia while Buriram came from behind to defeat Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim 2-1.

Korea Republic's FC Seoul will not only have home ground advantage but also the record of not having lost to Buriram in their previous four meetings.

They showed resilience against Machida, with the Japanese side outshooting them by 16 shots to eight and FC Seoul will feel they have the means to take maximum points.

Buriram, however, will head into the tie in good form with their defence of the Thai League 1 title well within their hands.

They showed grit in defeating Johor Darul Ta'zim, with the Malaysian outfit having taken the lead and are unbeaten in their last five matches against teams from Korea Republic on the continental stage.
