One point from a possible nine in their last three matches derailed Buriram's fast start to their campaign and the Thailand champions will be hoping to have turned the corner ahead of the Ulsan tie.

 

They are well placed to defend their Thai League 1 title and will have the advantage of being battle hardened when they face Ulsan.

Ulsan, despite clinching a third consecutive league title last season, endured a mixed campaign which not only saw them losing their first five matches on the continental stage but also suffering defeat in the Korea FA Cup final to Pohang Steelers.

 

While their fate is no longer in their hands, Ulsan were busy in the transfer window and with reinforcements in place, Kim Pan-gon's side will aim to kick off their season with a bang.

Venue: Buriram Stadium (Buriram)

Kick-off: Wednesday, 19:00 (UTC+7)
