Command Analysis
Buriram United
ThailandCurrent form
Buriram United is not the terror of Asian football, but the team is capable of tickling the nerves of any team. In the last draw of this tournament, the Thais finished their performance in the group stage, having scored only six points in Group H with China Zhejiang Greentown, Japan Kofu and Australia Melbourne City. Of course, there is a desire to perform much better in this draw.
At the end of June this year, 49-year-old Brazilian coach Osmar Loss took over the team. Under his careful guidance, the Thais have not suffered a single defeat in the Asian Champions League. Of course, there is no desire to break this series, especially since the opponent is not the strongest that they can get. At the moment, the team is on an unbeaten streak of nine matches in a row.

Pohang Steelers
South KoreaCurrent form
Pohang Steelers is one of the most decorated teams in the history of the Asian Champions League. Previously, they won this trophy three times, but 15 years have passed since their last triumph. In the last edition, they failed to advance past the 1/8 finals. The offender was Jeonbuk, who won the aggregate score of two matches with a score of 3:1.
The start of the current tournament cannot be called bad. Park Tae-Ha protégés have earned three points in two rounds. In the opening match, the South Koreans suffered a major fiasco away from the Chinese "Shanghai Shenhua" (1:4), but in the second round they pulled themselves together and scored three unanswered goals against another Chinese club - "Shanghai Port" (3:0).

The teams have already met in the group stage of the Champions League, but it was ten years ago. Then, Pohang Steelers won the match in Thailand with a score of 2:1, and the meeting in South Korea ended in a goalless draw. At the moment, the teams are almost equal in strength, and bookmakers put the Thais as the favorites only because they will play on their home field. We believe that this will really help them, and the hosts will win another victory.
Our prediction is a Buriram United win with odds of 2.09
Bet on total
The results of the teams' matches in the Champions League indicate that the upcoming match will be productive. In three of the four matches involving Buriram United and Pohang Steelers in the current tournament, at least three goals were scored. We believe that the upcoming match will not be boring either, and the opponents will be able to upset each other.
Our prediction is both teams will win with odds of 1.60
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that either team will sit in their penalty area for too long. In this matchup, we will place another bet on the teams making a lot of corner kicks.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.71
