Johor challenge awaits Thai giants Buriram United
However, Buriram United will not be intimidated by Johor Darul Ta’zim in the second leg of their AFC Champions League Elite last 16 round encounter on Tuesday night.
Johor remain unbeaten at home in the ACL Elite, but Buriram’s Osmar Loss believes that his side will take confidence from the 0-0 result they achieved with the Malaysian champions in the League Stage at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.
The Malaysian champions, however, will be keen to make full use of home ground advantage having returned from the first leg with a valuable draw.
Loss said in a pre-match conference yesterday: “This is going to be a big game for both teams. We already three times and every player knows how to play.
“This is a key match and the game may appear slow because there’s a significant advantage to the team that scores first.
Port tame Muang Thong
Port gave a brilliant performance in their Thai League 1 encounter against hosts Muang Thong United, defeating them 2-1 on Sunday night’s journey.
Elsewhere on Sunday night, Ratchaburi ran riot at home to sink Nongbua Pitchaya 4-0, hosts Uthai Thani beat PT Prachuap 3-1 and Nakhon Ratchasima outclassed visitors Khon Kaen United 3-1.
