ACL 2017 MD5 - Group G: Suwon Bluewings v Kawasaki Frontale preview

Suwon: Suwon Samsung Bluewings can guarantee their place in the knockout round of the 2017 AFC Champions League should they avoid defeat against a Kawasaki Frontale side that has drawn all four of their Group G fixtures.

Unbeaten Suwon sit two points clear of second-placed Guangzhou Evergrande following two wins and two draws ahead of the tie at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Tuesday and warmed up for the clash with back-to-back victories over Incheon United and Gangwon in the K-League Classic.

The visitors have an intriguing record on the continent, hard to beat yet so far unable to win, and go into the tie knowing that failure to gain three points at the fifth time of asking would see them ousted should Guangzhou defeat Eastern SC. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kawasaki have drawn their previous two J.League games since last appearing in the AFC Champions League.
