Hang Yuen take on April 25 in 2018 |
Four East Asian teams
This year we have four East Asian sides competing at the AFC Cup. These four clubs all from the same region are in Group I all together. The clubs taking part then are April 25 (North Korea), Hang Yuen (Taiwan), Kitchee and Wofoo Tai Po (both Hong Kong).
Hong Kong has two sides competing this year in the competition after Kitchee lost out to Perak of Mayalsia in qualifying for the Champions League group stages. The two sides from Hong Kong then are worth looking out for in this year's competition.

Hong Kong Derby
The Hong Kong Derby on Wednesday could be a great match to look out for then for fans of the AFC Cup. These are two sides who are at the top level in terms of the smaller Asian Club sides and can produce some good football. In the League right now Kitchee and Tai Po are separated by one point with Kitchee having played a game more.
Then with the two sides so evenly match this could be a close encounter with the match being played at the Mong Kok Stadium. This is the 'home' ground for both teams during the AFC Cup campaign too.

Taiwan take on North Korea
In the other match in the group, Hang Yuen take on April 25 of North Korea. Unless then the North Koreans have changed a lot in the last 12 months I can only see the away side taking the three points in Zhubei City, Taiwan.
When these sides met in last years competition April 25 won both matches 5-1. Although since then the Taiwanese side has strengthened and would have learnt from last year and am sure this will be a little closer.
