Sanfrecce will head into the return leg brimming with confidence as their form on the continental stage has been exemplary, having won six of their seven games.

Unbeaten in their nine home games in AFC competitions and with a perfect record in their three matches this season, head coach Michael Skibee may turn to his bench for options - with seven of their AFC Champions League Two goals scored by substitutes.

Having capitulated at home, Nam Dinh look to have a mountain to climb but the Vietnamese side will not give up without a fight.

Last week's defeat was only the second time they failed to score on the continent this season as this came as a surprise as Nam Dinh's progress to the knockout stage was built on their ability to net goals in away matches.

Nam Dinh will use this as the spark for what they hope will be a famous fightback.

Venue: Hiroshima Soccer Stadium (Hiroshima)

Kick-off: Wednesday, 19:00 (UTC+9)
