Ratchaburi will host Johor in the 2nd round of the group stage of the Asian Champions League. Will someone win the first victory?
"Ratchaburi"
In the first match, Ratchaburi was left without points, losing to the Pohan Steelers with a 2-0 result. If Ratchaburi tried to fight in the first half and managed to create some good attacks, then after the break they performed very modestly at someone else's goal, striking only one blow. It turned out to be accurate, but it did not create difficulties for the goalkeeper of "Pohan". Ratchaburi's winless streak has lasted and now amounts to five matches.
"Johor"
For three rounds within the framework of the Malaysian championship, Johor has not lost, and the series is still relevant, but if we evaluate the performances in all tournaments, then the win-win streak has ended. This happened because of the defeat in the first round of the group stage of the Asian Champions League, which was inflicted by Nagoya. For exactly 60 minutes, Johor held on, but then conceded a goal, which turned out to be the only one.
Statistics and figures:
- Ratchaburi lost in the first round to Pohan Steelers (0-2);
- Johor started the group stage with a defeat against Nagoya (0-1);
- Johor approaches the match in the status of the favorite.
Forecast
Ratchaburi and Johor are preparing for the most important game, which will allow us to understand who will keep the chances of getting out of the group. With a high degree of probability, the loser will almost lose the opportunity to finish even in the second position. Given these layouts, I expect active football from both teams and, as a result, an abundance of goals.
