Preview - Group H: Gamba Osaka’s Matsnunami wary of improving Chiangrai ahead of AFC Champions League clash

Tashkent: Masanobu Matsunami has called for focus from his Gamba Osaka side ahead of the first of two AFC Champions League clashes against Thailand’s Chiangrai United.

Chiangrai are one point adrift of Gamba, fresh from an important win against Tampines Rovers, and buoyed after giving K League champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors a scare in a 2-1 defeat last Friday.
