ACL Group H Preview
Group H is made up of the following ACL teams.
Adelaide (AUS) – after several very successful season in the A League Adelaide finished last in 2009, but some rebuilding in the last few weeks should se much different side play in ACL 2010. At this stage couldn’t see them progressing past group stage.
Shandong (CHN) – Mid table result in 2009 so they come into the ACL 2010 with a slight cloud hanging over them. 2009 ACL ended in the group stage, so they will be hoping for better this year.
Sanfrecce Hiroshima (JPN) – finished 4th in 2009 in J League and didn’t feature in the ACL. Japanese teams are who to atch this year so I would rate them a good chance to progress.
Pohang (KOR) – reigning champions but a different team and coach this year will some some instability and an opportunity for some teams to gain some much needed early points.
Group H March Day 1 features:
SANFRECCE HIROSHIMA (JPN) vs SHANDONG LUNENG FC (CHN) – Hiroshima playing at home will be hard to beat. 2 – 0
ADELAIDE UNITED (AUS) vs POHANG STEELERS (KOR) – Adelaide are in season and will cause a few headaches. I am bold in predicting an upset at Hindmarsh.
