AFC Champions League Two - Preview - R16, 2nd Leg: Bangkok United (THA) 2 v 2 Sydney FC (AUS)

Pathum Thani: Bangkok United and Sydney FC are set for a no-holds-barred clash when they square off in the return leg of their AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 last 16 tie on Wednesday.

Thitiphan Puangjan's goal in stoppage time meant the spoils were shared in last week's first leg and both sides will be equally confident of their chances at the Thammasat Stadium.

Bangkok United will not only count on home ground advantage but also their fighting spirit to book a quarter-final spot, which will mean a meeting with either Korea Republic's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC or fellow Thailand side Port FC.

Armed with a perfect record of three home wins in the group stage, Bangkok United will use this as motivation to end Sydney FC's run.

The Australian side will still be ruing conceding so late in the first leg as not doing so would have meant having a lead to protect on Wednesday.

Head coach Ufuk Talay, however, will urge his players to believe they can get the job done and to build on their performance in the first leg, which saw Sydney FC with 61 percent possession and 21 shots to Bangkok United's 10.
