AFC Champions League Elite brings Kyoto Sanga up against Newcastle Jets with both sides having just come through matches nobody won, but in different ways. Kyoto Sanga drew 2-2 with Gamba Osaka in the J1 League on 24 Oct. after an entertaining, high-scoring game, while Newcastle Jets also drew 1-1 with Macarthur in A-League Men the same day, but in a low-scoring match where both sides mostly held each other off. Kyoto Sanga are back home after drawing two in a row, but before that they lost 0-3 to Sanfrecce Hiroshima at home, so there are still visible cracks in their defence. Newcastle Jets, meanwhile, after drawing two in a row in the league, were just thrashed 1-3 by Gamba Osaka in this competition on 13 Oct., a match where their defence fell apart late on. This game is likely to play out with Kyoto Sanga as the side pushing the play, since they are at home and have attacking quality that has scored in several matches in a row, while Newcastle Jets are likely to sit deep and wait for counter-attacking moments or short bursts forward. The game could drag on and be decided by fine details late on.
