AFC Champions League Two
While Australia's Sydney finished second in Group E, Bangkok United cruised into the knockout stage after topping Group G.
In the two months since the completion of the group stage, Sydney have struggled with consistency on the domestic front and are well off the pace in the title race.
They will be desperate to not slip up in the first leg, especially as Bangkok United won all three of their home matches in the group stage.

An advantage for Sydney will be the fact that Bangkok's away form in the group stage was inconsistent as they only managed four points out of a possible nine.
The Thai side will enter the tie in reasonably good form, sitting second in the Thai League 1 standings and within touching distance of leaders Buriram United.
