Preview - Group H: Chiangrai looking to get AFC Champions League bid back on track against Tampines Rovers

Tashkent: After their promising opening match display ended in defeat, Monday’s clash against Tampines Rovers is a chance for Chiangrai United to steady their AFC Champions League ship, according to coach Alongkorn Thong-Am.

The Thai side matched it with K League champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors for periods of their Matchday One duel, outshooting the Koreans 10 to seven, but left Bunyodkor Stadium with nothing to show for it after a 2-1 defeat.
