AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: FC Seoul (KOR) v Chengdu Rongcheng FC (CHN)

Seoul: FC Seoul will host Chengdu Rongcheng FC in an AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26 tie both sides have to win to boost their Round of 16 hopes.

Korea Republic's FC Seoul are on four points with Chengdu of China PR one behind after both sides lost their Matchday Three encounters.

Having been outplayed by Shanghai Shenhua in a 2-0 defeat two weeks ago, FC Seoul will be aiming for a more solid outing against another side from China PR.

Their track record, however, is against them as they are without a win in their last six meetings with teams from China PR, having drawn two and lost four.

Not finding the net against Shenhua would also have also been a shock to the system, as it ended a 13-match scoring run on the continental stage.

Chengdu, defeated 2-0 at home by Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim on Matchday Three, need to find consistency in front of goal if they are to revive their hopes of advancing to the next stage.

Their goal tally stands at two and if potency continues to elude them, FC Seoul will punish them in what will be a first meeting between the sides.
