AFC Champions League Two - Preview - R16, 2nd Leg: Lion City Sailors FC (SGP) 3 v 2 Muangthong United (THA)

Singapore: Muangthong United will believe they can complete the comeback when they travel to face Lion City Sailors in the return leg of their AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 last 16 tie on Thursday.

The Thai side looked to be down and out after trailing 3-0 just 27 minutes into the first leg but then capitalised on their numerical advantage when Singapore's Lion City Sailors were reduced to 10 men to pull two goals back.

While Lion City Sailors will rue having just a one-goal lead after their sizzling start, they will head into the tie confident of taking their spot in the quarter-finals.

Unbeaten in their last three matches against sides from Thailand, a win for the Singaporean outfit will take them into a last eight meeting with either Japan's Sanfrecce Hiroshima or Nam Dinh FC of Vietnam.

Muangthong will be equally confident of taking the quarter-final spot and will draw inspiration from their near comeback in the first leg.

They would have worked on the mistakes that allowed Lion City Sailors to race into the three-goal lead last week and this sets the stage for what will surely be a cracking affair at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
