Muangthong will be desperate to prolong their stay in the competition after a tough domestic season which sees them third in the standings but 16 points off the pace in Thai League 1.

 

In what promises to be a thrilling ASEAN derby, Muangthong will be aiming to reclaim the form that saw them stunning Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors of Korea Republic 1-0 on Matchday Six of the group stage to book their Round of 16 spot at the expense of Malaysia's Selangor FC.

Lion City Sailors will also fancy their chances, especially with Muangthong - although unbeaten - only able to win one of their group stage matches at home.

 

The Sailors are well placed to wrest their domestic title and with Muangthong struggling with inconsistency, the Singaporean side will believe victory in the first leg is attainable.

Venue: Thunderhome Stadium (Nonthaburi)

Kick-off: Thursday, 21:00 (UTC+7)
