AFC Champions League

Visiting coach Hwang Sun-hong has left key players in South Korea for Tuesday night's ACL clash at Campbelltown Stadium

Coach Tony Popovic has warned Western Sydney Wanderers against taking FC Seoul lightly but his side do have a big opportunity in the AFC Champions League (ACL) versus the K League champions.

The Wanderers host Seoul at Campbelltown Stadium on Tuesday night knowing a win will put them right back into contention for the Round of 16, and the Red-and-Black have received a boost with the visitors set to name a weakened line-up.

While Popovic insisted on Monday that Seoul will "come here to try and get a win", news out of South Korea indicates last year's ACL semi-finalists have turned their focus towards defending their K League title.
