Kawasaki Frontale vs Darul Ta'zim Prediction and Betting Tips | 28th November 2023

Kawasaki Frontale will play host to Darul Ta'zim at Kawasaki Todoroki Stadium in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday.

Kawasaki Frontale vs Darul Ta'zim Preview

Kawasaki Frontale have one foot in the next round, after establishing a six-point lead atop the standing. They have 12 points on the board while second and third-placed Ulsan and Darul Ta'zim have six points each. The Japanese side will be looking to seal their qualification to the round of 16 with a win over the visitors.

Azzurro Nero snatched a lone-goal victory in the reverse fixture at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. However, it wasn’t an easy success for the Japanese team and we expect another fierce contest between the sides in the return leg. The hosts are undefeated at home in their last six matches.

Darul Ta'zim are fighting for a second-place finish to book their spot in the round of 16. They will hope to keep their chances intact by avoiding a crash in Kawasaki. However, the battle for the second place could drag on until the final matchday. Claiming maximum points in Kawasaki appears challenging for the Malaysian side.

Harimau Selatan reached the round of 16 in the previous edition - their best record in the competition as yet. Their final game in the group will be against already-eliminated BG Pathum United, which the visitors are expected to win. That game could be a lifeline if they happen to lose to the hosts on Tuesday.
