AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: Johor Darul Ta’zim FC (MAS) v Port FC (THA)

Iskandar Puteri: Johor Darul Ta’zim FC will expect three points when they host Port FC in the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/2027™ on Tuesday.

JDT are on four points after two matchdays while Thailand's Port are in desperate need of a victory after opening their campaign with consecutive defeats.

Despite this being the first meeting between the sides, JDT will be wary of Port as the Malaysian champions are on a five-match winless run (D3 L2) against teams from Thailand.

They, however, have lost just one of their last 13 home games in the AFC Champions League Elite (W8 D4) and are currently on their joint longest unbeaten run at home (6).

Port will be desperate to halt their losing run, having lost back-to-back matches in the competition for the first time.

Defensive resilience will be key, with the Thai side having already conceded seven goals.
