Buriram United vs Johor Darul Ta'zim Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

This will be the third time that Buriram United are going to take on Johor Darul Ta’zim.

Buriram United are all set to host Johor Darul Ta’zim in the AFC Champions League Elite 2024-25 round of 16 first leg. The hosts ended their group stage run in sixth place after winning three matches in eight ACL games. Johor Darul Ta’zim finished in the third spot as they were able to win four matches.

Buriram United will be at home, which will be somewhat advantageous for them. They have only won once in their last five AFC Champions League Elite games. This will keep them under some pressure as Johor Darul Ta’zim seem like a strong side.
