AFC Champions League Two - QF - Preview (2nd Leg): Lion City Sailors (SGP) 3 v 0 Sanfrecce Hiroshima (JPN)

Singapore: A highly-charged affair can be expected when Lion City Sailors and Sanfrecce Hiroshima square off in the return leg of their AFC Champions League Two™ 2024/25 quarter-final on Wednesday.

Japan's Sanfrecce 6-1 first leg win was forfeited after the Japanese side fielded an ineligible player, with Singapore's Lion City Sailors being awarded the tie 3-0.

Despite their advantage, Lion City Sailors will prepare for a tough match after being outplayed last week.

They will be confident, however, having won three of their four home matches in the AFC Champions League Two this season.

Sanfrecce will look to start the match on the front foot in their bid to overturn the deficit.

The Japanese side will feel confident, having been in free-scoring form on the continental stage this season - netting 21 goals up till the Round of 16 stage.
