Machida Zelvia vs Gangwon prediction

In the first-leg of this 2025/26 AFC Champions League semi-final at Songam Sports Town in Chuncheon-si, Gangwon and Machida Zelvia shared a very underwhelming goalless draw which produced just three shots on target in total, all of which came in favour of the Japanese outfit.

Machida Zelvia have started their 2026 Japanese J1 League season well with two wins and two draws in four matches, while Gangwon started their Korean K1 League campaign with a defeat to Ulsan Hyundai.

Machida Zelvia were unable to get over the line in the first-leg but, with home advantage, they are firm favourites to make it past their Korean counterparts.
