Seoul: Urawa Red Diamonds will cap a fine Group F display should they defeat FC Seoul on Wednesday and progress to the knockout phase of the 2017 AFC Champions League on top of the standings.
Having already secured their spot in the last 16, Urawa sit above second-placed Shanghai SIPG by virtue of a slightly better head-to-head record and will seal top spot by claiming all three points at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Urawa were the early pacesetters in the J.League but go in to the tie on a poor run of form having lost two in a row since routing Western Sydney Wanderers 6-1 two weeks ago.
The hosts, who welcome back Osmar Barba from suspension, have endured a hugely disappointing continental campaign and sit nine points adrift of the top two teams. They have also lost two from three in the K-League Classic since a 4-2 defeat to Shanghai two weeks ago ended any faint hope they had of qualifying for the knockout stage.
