AFC Champions League Elite 2024/25 gameweek 7 predictions
Johor Darul Ta’zim to score: Central Coast Mariners vs Johor Darul Ta’zim
- Date: 11/02/2025
- Kick-off: 09:00
- Both teams have crossed paths according to some outlets, but we expect the visitors to score at least one goal.
Both teams may not have played against each other, but their performances in the AFC Champions League Elite suggest how the upcoming game may end. The hosts conceded 17 goals in 6 matches, so we can expect at least one goal from Johor Darul Ta’zim.
Central Coast Mariners vs Johor Darul Ta’zim: Away team total goals: over 0.5
Vissel Kobe to bounce back to winning ways: Vissel Kobe vs Shanghai Port
- Date: 11/02/2025
- Kick-off: 11:00
- The last time both teams met, Vissel Kobe came out on top. There’s a chance they can repeat the same in the upcoming game.
Vissel Kobe recorded their first defeat in the AFC Champions League Elite in the last round, but they have a chance to bounce back to winning ways when they host struggling Shanghai Port. Vissel Kobe won 2-0 at home the last time they hosted this team, and their current form coupled with the visitors’ inconsistency suggests they are expected to come away with the win.
Vissel Kobe vs Shanghai Port prediction: Home team to win
Pohang Steelers and Kawasaki to produce two or more goals: Pohang Steelers vs Kawasaki
- Date: 11/02/2025
- Kick-off: 11:00
- At least two goals were scored in the last two times both teams met. There’s a chance we can witness the same in the upcoming game.
Pohang Steelers are unbeaten against Kawasaki and in better form than their visitors. We can either back the hosts to avoid a defeat against Kawasaki or back both teams to produce at least two goals. We will settle for the latter.
Pohang Steelers vs Kawasaki prediction: Over 1.5 goals
Shandong Taishan and Gwangju to delight fans with goals: Shandong Taishan vs Gwangju
- Date: 11/02/2025
- Kick-off: 13:00
- Matches involving either team usually end with two or more goals, and we think the upcoming game will not be short of noteworthy moments.
Shandon Taishan and Gwangju may not have crossed paths in this competition, but their results in previous rounds suggest this encounter will produce goals. Shandon Taishan averaged 3.66 goals per game in six AFC Champions League Elite matches, while Gwangju aren’t far behind, as they averaged 3.33 goals per game. We expect the upcoming game to follow suit.
Shandon Taishan vs Gwangju prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Yokohama FM to add to Shanghai Shenhua’s agony: Yokohama’s FM vs Shanghai Shenhua
- Date: 12/02/2025
- Kick-off: 11:00
- Shanghai Shenhua are one of the worst-performing teams in the competition, and they have no chance against the league leaders.
Shanghai Shenhua have lost three of their last six AFC Champions League matches, and the major cause of their bad form is their poor display as visitors. They face the league leaders as guests, so we can expect the hosts to come away with the win.
Yokohama FM vs Shanghai Shenhua prediction: Home team to win
Buriram United to bounce back to winning ways: Buriram United vs Ulsan
- Date: 12/02/2025
- Kick-off: 13:00
- Ulsan are one of the worst-performing teams in the AFC Champions League Elite this term and are technically out of the competition, so we expect the hosts to take full advantage.
Buriram United are in the top eight with 8 points after two wins and two draws in six matches. They need a win to avoid dropping outside the qualification spot and coming up against a team like Ulsan, who have only one win in six matches, suggests that the Thailand outfits won’t have any problems in the upcoming game.
