Sydney are the heavy favourites, but they have to be on guard following their Australia Cup exit to Oakleigh Cannons, while Eastern have nothing to lose as they look to make an immediate impact in the competition.

Head To Head


This will be the first meeting between the two teams.

Sydney FC Form


Sydney finished fourth in the A-League last season, but they only managed 12 wins from their 27 games, with their Australia Cup triumph securing them a spot in this Asian Champions League 2 competition.

It was a disastrous Australia Cup title defence for Sydney, with the team knocked out in the R32 by NPL Victoria side Oakleigh Cannons.

Ufuk Talay's side now turn their attention to avoiding another upset in this AFC Champions League 2 opener.

Former Bayern Munich and Juventus star Douglas Costa is a chance to make his debut for Sydney in this game, along with fellow Brazilian Leo Sena and ex-Celtic striker Patryk Klimala.

Eastern AA Form


Eastern finished in third spot in the Hong Kong Premier League last season and gained entry into this competition after winning a sixth FA Cup trophy.

It's been a tremendous start to the new league season, with Eastern winning both of their games to be leading the table with a +6 points differential.

One player to watch is Spanish striker Noah Baffoe, who scored 30 goals in his debut season for Eastern and will be looking to make a name for himself on the continental stage.

Verdict

Eastern have been winning a lot of games lately, so Sydney can't afford to take them lightly, just like the their recent Australia Cup campaign.

With that defeat to Oakleigh in mind, backing Sydney to be ready from the get-go here, so the Sky Blues winning at half-time to full-time appeals.
