#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday 5
Machida will count on their Emperor's Cup victory to push them back on to the winning trail on the continental stage after suffering a last gasp 2-1 defeat to Melbourne City FC three weeks ago.
The loss left them on five points but a boosted Machida will be motivated to get the better of Gangwon in what will be the first meeting between the sides.
