AFC Champions League Elite
Japan's Sanfrecce ended Matchday Three eighth in the standings with four points with Korea Republic's Gangwon two ahead in third.
Sanfrecce have only added a point since their opening day 2-0 win against Australia's Melbourne City FC and this is largely due to their lack of potency.
While they dominated in the 1-0 defeat to Ulsan HD two weeks ago, only three of their 21 shots were on target against the Korea Republic side and this is an area they need to focus on against Gangwon who know how to punish mistakes.
They showed exactly that in the thrilling 4-3 win against Vissel Kobe, refusing to give up despite conceding a 3-0 lead.

#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday Four
Such has been their sharpness in front of the goalmouth that almost 71 percent of their shot attempts have come from inside the box, with five resulting in the ball settling in the back of the net.
They will still be buzzing from their exploits against Vissel Kobe and Sanfrecce's recent record of having won three of their last four meetings against teams from Korea Republic will come under threat.
