Ulsan: Ulsan Hyundai will aim to build on their opening-day draw in Group F of the AFC Champions League when they take on Kawasaki Frontale at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on Tuesday.
The Korea Republic team led three times against Melbourne Victory last week after a Mislav Orsic double and a goal from Richard Windbichler, only for their Australian hosts to fight back each time and secure a 3-3 draw.
Kawasaki, meanwhile, were unbeaten at home in last year’s competition as they reached the quarter-finals, but lost 1-0 to Shanghai SIPG on their first game of the current campaign and will be looking to get their first points on the board on Tuesday.
The Japanese side’s last trip to Ulsan ended in a 2-0 defeat in the 2014 group stage, although they fared better the last time they played in Korea Republic, beating Suwon Samsung Bluewings 1-0 to all but secure their place in the 2017 knockout rounds.
