AFC Women's Champions League
Japan's Urawa were imperious in the group stage, advancing with a perfect record of three wins while China PR's Wuhan Jiangda booked their spot as one of the two best third-placed teams.
Urawa will head into the tie with virtually the same squad that was so impressive in the group stage, with just two new signings.
Miki Ito top scored in the group stage with five goals but what makes Urawa really dangerous is that they have multiple players who can find the back of the net, with the AFC Women’s Club Championship 2023 winners netting 21 goals and conceding none in the group stage.
#AWCL - Preview: Quarter-finals
Wuhan Jiangda had to work hard to advance to the quarter-finals after suffering a shock 2-1 defeat to UAE's Abu Dhabi Country Club in their opening Group A match.
The side from China PR recovered to defeat Malaysia's Sabah FA 7-0 but a 2-0 loss to Hyundai Steel Red Angels Women's FC of Korea Republic meant a nervous wait to know their fate.
Wuhan Jiangda, however, will approach the quarter-final with a nothing-to-lose mentality and Urawa will do well to tread carefully.
