Beijing Guoan – United City

Beijing Guoan and United City will trade tackles for three points in the AFC Champions League on Thursday. Both sides come into this game on the back of defeats on matchday four. Guoan were on the wrong end of a 3-0 defeat to South Korea’s Daegu FC, while United FC suffered a 2-0 defeat to Kawasaki Frontale. Those defeats left the two clubs out of the running for qualification. They are both currently on one point from four matches played.

The first leg meeting between the sides was the first time they met in continental action. Goals from Stephan Schrock and Liang Shawen ensured the teams played out a 1-1 draw.

The fact that both sides have already been eliminated from the tournament could see them play with more freedom. That’s why our prediction is both teams to score a goal.
