Kuching City FC host Gangwon FC in the AFC Champions League Two, still looking for a first group win

Kuching City FC play Gangwon FC at Stadium Taha Ariffin on 5 November in their fourth group match of the AFC Champions League Two, kicking off at 8.15pm Malaysian time.

The two sides met in Gangneung on 29 October, when Gangwon FC won 1-0 through Choe Byeong-chan’s goal in the 28th minute, set up by Kang Joon-Hyuck.

That result left the Malaysian side with one draw and two defeats from three group matches. They lost 2-1 away to Phnom Penh Crown on 17 September and drew 1-1 at home with Kitchee on 15 October, their goal that night an own goal by Pong Cheuk-Hei in the second minute. If they beat Gangwon FC, it would be their first win of the group stage.

In the Malaysia Super League table, Kuching City FC are third with 12 points from six matches, six points off the top, with four wins, two defeats, 17 goals scored and seven conceded.

The group continues in Kuching on 26 November, when Phnom Penh Crown visit at 6pm. Before that, Kuching City FC host Selangor FC at Taha Ariffin Stadium on 8 November in the second leg of their Malaysia FA Cup semi-final, kicking off at 7.45pm and trailing 2-1 from the first leg at MBPJ Stadium.
