Johor Darul Ta'zim vs Buriram United Prediction: The Better Team Will Win

The Thunder Castles of Thailand will be once again pitched against Johor Darul Tazim, who held them to a goalless standstill in the first leg of the Round of 16. While I expect the Thai league side to be the better side, JDT forced them down to a 0-0 impasse. The onus is on the better team to edge toward the quarter-finals — even if all it would take is a penalty shootout.

JDT’s traction was tremendously slowed in the previous 0-0 AFC clash with Buriram, presenting challenges with fixed gazes on the silverware. So far, they have been unbeaten in their run, and the slightest whiff of carelessness will face severe backlash, given the pace of this tournament that has shown various projections in different exhibitive stances.
