Show Preview

The Asian Champions League will begin for Sydney FC on home soil as they take on Ulsan Hyundai at Kogarah. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:30pm (AEDT).

Sydney have never had a great run at the ACL, winning just seven of their 26 games to date and only making the round of 16 once in five attempts, back in that incredible 2016 year.

Steve Corica’s side haven’t been at their best in the A-League this season either, and will probably need to take out the grand final to qualify for this tournamemt next year. Winning home games for Sydney will be critical if they are to advance out of a tough group, which includes Ulsan, the Japanese champions Kawasaki, and Chinese champions Shanghai SIPG.

The Sky Blues come into this ACL opener on the back of two straight wins, which should do wonders for their confidence, and with some strong attackers forward, they will be hoping to push the pace of this game.

Between Adam Le Fondre, Milos Ninkovic, Alex Brosque and Reza Ghoochannejhad, they have weapons all over the pitch, and need to make the most of their opportunities against a usually defensively good Ulsan Hyundai.

They should have a match fitness advantage here as well, with Ulsan only one game into their new K-League season, where they finished third last season.

Beating the Suwon Bluewings was an impressive performance though, while they also won a play-off against Perak 5-1 to make the group rounds.

They will be looking to Brazilian import star Júnior Negrão to lead the way up front, while their defence, which is always solid, will be where they look to build the game from, strangling the life out of the home side.

Prediction
The Sky Blues might be at home, but Ulsan are an incredibly strong side, and should play a style which will keep them right in this. I expect it to go down to the wire, but the sides to settle for a point a piece when it’s all said and done.

Sydney 1 – Ulsan 1.
