Muangthong United are one of three teams from Thailand in the Round of 16 and they will be fired up for the clash against regional rivals Lion City Sailors FC of Singapore. 

Muangthong advanced as the Group H runners-up, finishing behind Korea Republic's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC, and it was a commendable achievement as they denied Malaysia's Selangor FC progression. 

Lion City Sailors, however, will be a tough challenge with the Singaporean side topping Group F after an exciting tussle with Thailand's Port FC and Zhejiang FC of China PR.
