Seoul and Melbourne Victory get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Group Stage fixture.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
