Buriram United host Beijing Guoan in the AFC Champions League Elite. This is a continental cup tie between two teams from different leagues and different countries. Buriram United have just thrashed their league opponents 4-0, while Beijing Guoan have just lost 0-2 away in their own league. The two teams therefore come into this one in clearly different moods. Buriram United are in a spell where their attack is clicking, especially at home where they control the rhythm of the game for almost the entire match. Beijing Guoan, meanwhile, have problems with consistency on their travels. Their defence concedes easily when put under sustained pressure, but this team still has quality on the counter that must be watched. If Buriram United score first from a spell of pressure at home, the game should flow the hosts' way as they keep the ball and keep finding openings. But if Beijing Guoan take the lead, the game becomes one where the hosts have to throw more men forward, and that could leave gaps for the visitors to counter into, ending in a tight finish.
