Preview - Group H: No room for error for Gamba Osaka, Chiangrai in crucial AFC Champions League clash

Tashkent: It may only be Matchday Four of the group stage, but Sunday’s 2021 AFC Champions League clash between Gamba Osaka and Chiangrai United will carry the high stakes of a knockout final for both clubs.

Inseparable in a 1-1 draw on Thursday, the two clubs will meet again knowing that a repeat result will likely allow Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors to build on their two-point lead at the top of the Group H table, while defeat for either side would inflict even worse consequences.
