Kuching aim to stop slump against Gangwon in ACL2
KUALA LUMPUR: Kuching City have more than just their first AFC Champions League Two (ACL2) victory to chase when they host South Korean side Gangwon at Taha Ariffin Stadium on Thursday.
Kuching City's ACL2 campaign is at a critical juncture as they prepare to host Gangwon at Taha Ariffin Stadium. The Cats are not only looking to avenge their recent 1-0 defeat against the South Korean side but also aim to end a three-match losing streak. Coach Aidil Sharin Sahak faces a challenging balancing act, with an important FA Cup semi-final second leg against Selangor just three days away.
The return fixture against Gangwon offers the Cats the opportunity to respond, with home advantage potentially giving them an edge. However, the coach will have to carefully consider player rotation to avoid fatigue and injuries while also trying to keep their FA Cup hopes alive. Kuching currently sits bottom of Group H with one point from three matches.
