Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the AFC Cup 2017.

Today, we have last season's runners-up Bengaluru FC taking on 4.25 Sports Club of the DPR Korea at the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang.

Albert Roca's Blues are well placed to reach the Inter-Zonal final after their 3-0 win in the first leg and another solid performance away from home will take BFC to the penultimate stage of the AFC Cup for the second year running.

Though a fan of the three at the back formation, Roca will not change the winning system and is expected to name an unchanged lineup in a 4-3-3 formation. The midfield of Erik Paartalu, Dimas Delgado, and Lenny Rodrigues bossed their counterparts and will look to over power the Sports Club midfield. The front three will see Chhetri playing as a lone striker and Udanta Singh and Toni Dovale on the flanks. Juanan and Rahul Bheke are expected to be the central defenders with Gurpreet Singh Sandhu being the man between the posts.

Like BFC, 4.25 Sports Club also like to play a possession game and tend to enjoy a healthy share of the ball. Manager Hwang Yong Song is expected to name his side in a 4-4-2 formation with his side needing at least three goals in the 90 minutes of action. The North Korean club will be delighted with the return of striker Kim Yu-Song to the starting lineup after being on the bench in the first leg due to a slight niggle. Kim Yu-Song is the tournament's top scorer with nine goals.

The match kicks off at 1.30 pm IST.
