The final Group A clash of the AFC Champions League brings high stakes as Johor Darul Ta’zim host Japanese giants Vissel Kobe in a decisive encounter. Vissel Kobe enter the match sitting comfortably at the top of the group, but qualification is not yet guaranteed with only the top 8 teams out of 12 across the groups advancing to the next stage.

For Johor Darul Ta’zim, the task is far more urgent. Currently ranked 6th, JDT must deliver a strong performance and secure vital points to keep their knockout hopes alive. Anything less could spell the end of their continental campaign.

Vissel Kobe will look to assert their dominance and seal progression with authority, while JDT will rely on home support, intensity, and resilience to upset the group leaders. With qualification on the line for both sides, this final group match promises tension, urgency, and a true test of character on the Asian stage.
