International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Melbourne Victory and Chiangrai United are looking forward to this AFC Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a A-League match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Melbourne City, so at least Melbourne Victory are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Melbourne Victory form and stats
Melbourne Victory participated in AFC Champions League the last season, where they reached the group stage.Overall A-League stats at home this season for Melbourne Victory are 2-3-3 (wins-draw-losses).
Melbourne Victory lost their last game at Melbourne City after a 1-2 scoreline. 2-2 away at Perth Glory before that.
The Melbourne Victory fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. On the other hand, Melbourne Victory have conceded 9 goals.
Chiangrai United form and stats
They also participated in AFC Champions League last season. This ended in the play-offs.The visitors are W8-D5-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Thai Premier League. Things are running smoothly for Chiangrai United who hasn't tasted defeat in their last eleven matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Muang Thong United.
It's the second away game in a row for Chiangrai United, but there's smiles all around after the 5-2 victory versus Suphanburi in the Thai Premier League last time out. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Prachuap in the Thai Premier League.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Suphanburi was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?
The schedule is very tough for Chiangrai United now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Thai Premier League game at Pattaya United is waiting in only three days.
The travelling fans enjoy Chiangrai United's attacking play in away games, having scored 27 goals in 15 league matches away. Chiangrai United are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 14 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
