The two teams have been mercurial in their past games in perhaps one of the toughest groups in this year's premier Asian club continental tournament and so they are currently settled at the third and fourth spots respectively.
Their first meeting in Feb. 23rd ended up in a 1-1 tie at the Gò Đậu Stadium in Vietnam. This second and last meeting is crucial for both parties as another loss from any of the two may very well eliminate them from the rest of the tourney.
Jiangsu Suning is coming off a disappointing 1-2 loss to current Group E leaders FC Tokyo also at their home ground of Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre on April 6th, as per beIN SPORTS.
Tokyo captain Masato Morishige netted a brace at the 30th and 83rd minutes to lead his side over Dan Petrescu's boys, who got an equalizing goal from Brazilian striker Jô at the 34th.
Meanwhile, Becamex Bình Dương survived a high-scoring 3-2 win over South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors at their home stadium of Gò Đậu during the same April 6th matchday, via Fox Sports Asia.
Team captain Nguyễn Anh Đức scored the opener at the 12th before Jeonbuk netted two quick goals at the 27th and 28th to grab the lead, courtesy of Jong-Ho Lee and Gyo-Won Han.
Becamex fought back as Cameroonian striker Christian Nsi Amougou equalized the match before the half.
The hosts scored the game winner with just two minute left before the full time whistle with a successful penalty kick from Nguyễn Anh Đức, who scored his second goal of the match.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 win for Jiangsu Suning.
Jiangsu Suning starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Zhang S.; Zhou, Sainsbury, Xu, Ren; Ramires, Zhang X.; Ji, Wu, Teixeira; Jô
Becamex Bình Dương starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Trường; Nguyễn X.L., Luật, Robert, Nguyễn X.T.; Kisekka, Thành, Oloya, Vinh; Nguyễn A.D.; Amougou
