Buriram United holds a big advantage ahead of the return leg of the 2025/2026 Southeast Asian Champions Cup final against Selangor FC. The 1-0 away win in the first leg gives the Thai representative a great advantage as they return to Chang Arena. Buriram continues to show the composure of reigning champions with disciplined, experienced and highly effective play in crucial moments. Suphanat Mueanta's goal in the first leg has boosted their confidence significantly ahead of the rematch.
A notable point is that Buriram will have the return of key striker Guilherme Bissoli after his suspension. The presence of the Brazilian striker promises to make the home side's attack even more dangerous, especially in quick counter-attacks. With home advantage and near full strength, Buriram is rated slightly higher than their Malaysian opponents.
However, Selangor FC will certainly not give up easily. Coach Kim Pan Gon stated that his team will go all out in attack to find a goal. The Malaysian side has a strong fighting spirit and caused plenty of trouble for Buriram in the first leg. If they make better use of their chances, Selangor could spring a surprise.
Nevertheless, with superior experience and consistency, Buriram United is still considered the stronger candidate for the title. The match is likely to be exciting as Selangor will be forced to push forward from the start.
