Buriram United vs Shanghai Shenhua Predictions
Buriram United should secure AFC Elite qualification with another home win on Tuesday. I have the Thai hosts to claim victory at Chang Arena.
Buriram United in Fine Fettle
- Buriram United won 8 of their last 9 matches
- Buriram United won 4 of their last 6 home matches (AFC Elite)
- Shanghai Shenhua lost 8 of their last 11 matches (AFC Elite)
Buriram and Shanghai Set for First-Ever Encounter
Buriram United and Shanghai Shenhua will meet for the first time on Tuesday.
Buriram Strong at Home
Buriram United return to AFC Elite action on Tuesday after a comfortable 3-1 road victory in the Thai League 1 last weekend. Brazilian forward Guilherme Bissoli bagged his 17th goal of the season as Mark Jackson's side extended their advantage at the top of the division.
The Thunder Castle now sit 11 points clear at the top of the Thai League 1.
Buriram have been in largely excellent form since the turn of the year, picking up eight wins with only one defeat recorded in their last 11 fixtures.
On the continental stage, Buriram have produced their best results at home. Jackson’s side picked up seven of their 11 points at Chang Arena. The Thai hosts now sit seventh in the East section, needing just a point to secure their place in the knockout phase.
The Thai League 1 champions also secured an impressive 1-0 road win against Chengdu Rongcheng in their most recent AFC Elite clash.
Shanghai Struggle on the Continent
Shanghai Shenhua bring their AFC Elite campaign to a close after a 2-0 home loss to Machida Zelvia confirmed their elimination from the competition.
Yuki Soma bagged a brace as the J1 League side eased to victory in China.
Leonid Slutskiy's men have struggled to make an impact in the Champions League. The Chinese Super League side sit bottom of the East section with just three points collected from seven fixtures.
Particularly poor on the road, the Blues Devils remain pointless after three away games played this season. The CSL side picked up just one draw from seven previous away AFC Elite fixtures over the past two campaigns.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
Buriram United (4-1-4-1) Neil Etheridge; Sandy Walsh, Ko Myeong-seok, Curtis Good, Eduardo Mancha; Goran Causic; Kingsley Schindler, Robert Zulj, Peter Zulj, Suphanat Mueanta; Guilherme Bissoli.
Head coach Jackson has no new injury issues, but remains unable to call on three first-team players. Ilhan Fandi and Kenny Dougall are sidelined due to ankle and knee injuries, respectively, while Thanakrit Chotmuangpak also remains unavailable.
Jackson praised his players after their 1-0 win against Chengdu Rongcheng.
“We are really pleased with the result. I’m delighted with what the players produced; it was a fantastic performance."
“We showed resilience and quality at the right moments, as well as real unity, and that’s what earned us the three points.” said Jackson.
Shanghai Shenhua (4-3-3) Xue Qinghao; Wilson Manafa, Jin Shunkai, Zhu Chenjie, Shinichi Chan; Wu Xi, Nico Yennaris, Joao Carlos Teixeira; Saulo Mineiro, Haoyu Yang, Rafael Ratao.
Shanghai boss Slutskiy could shuffle his pack as the visitors bid for a first win of the year. Tianyi Gao and Haoyu Yang both featured from the bench last time out and could earn recalls to the starting XI.
The CSL side have no reported injury issues.
Verdict
Buriram have plenty of reasons to be confident this week, and I expect the Thai hosts to confirm their place in the knockout phase with another win on Tuesday.
