PETALING JAYA: Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) will play all their remaining matches in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) at their home, the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium, but stalwart Mohd Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak says it’s no big advantage.

The AFC announced earlier this week that Malaysia will host the remainder of the Group G and Group H matches of the ACL, as well as the Round of 16, two quarter-final matches and the semi-final.

Group G comprises Vissel Kobe (Japan), JDT, Guangzhou Evergrande (China) and Suwon Bluewings (South Korea) while Yokohama F. Marinos (Japan), Jeonbuk FC (South Korea), Sydney FC (Australia) and Shanghai SIPG FC (China) make up Group H.
