Preview - Round of 16: Ulsan Hyundai FC v Suwon Samsung Bluewings

Ulsan: Ulsan Hyundai and Suwon Samsung Bluewings will face off in the first leg of the 2018 AFC Champions League Round of 16 at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on Wednesday as two former continental champions from Korea Republic battle it out for a place in the quarter-finals.

The 2012 champions Ulsan failed to reach the knockout stage in 2014 and 2017 but returned this time round after finishing second in Group F behind Shanghai SIPG. They have won two of their three home games on the continent to date.

Suwon won the Asian Club Championship in 2000-01 and 2001-02, the years directly preceding the start of the AFC Champions League, but their best performance in the tournament’s current format came in reaching the 2011 semi-finals.
