AFC CUP 2019 PREVIEW: CERES-NEGROS VS SHAN UNITED

Ceres-Negros FC now sets its sight on the AFC Cup where they will face Myanmar’s Shan United in Group G of the ASEAN Zone on February 26 at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod.
The busmen were grouped in the zone’s toughest group which also includes Vietnam powerhouse Becamex Bin Duong and Indonesian giants Persija Jakarta.
The Philippine Champions are looking forward to redeem themselves after failing to make the second stage of the AFC Champions League when they fell to Yangon United at home last February 5.
The Negros squad aims to make a good start in the group stages when they face familiar foes in Shan United whom they have faced three times in 2018.
They first met the Taunggyi-based squad in the ACL Preliminaries whom they outlasted by winning in penalties after 120 minutes of action.
The again faced each other again in the group stages of last years AFC Cup where Ceres scored two late goals to earn a victory in Bacolod while a penalty from Bienvenido Maranon was the difference in match under searing conditions in Yangon.
The visitors have strengthened their lineup with Brazilians in Maycon, Dedimar, and Hedipo Conceicao to correct their narrow losses from last year.
Ceres-Negros meanwhile has added Bosnian Mahir Karic up front to reinforce their core and recent local signings in Jun Badelic, Dennis Villanueva, and Alvaro Silva.
Ceres-Negros will be parading their full lineup in front of their home fans to maintain their positive starts in all group games in the last three years.
A come-from behind equalizer against Selangor in Panaad in 2016, a 1-1 draw in Hanoi in 2017, and a 9-0 defeat of Beoung Ket at home last year have put the Filipinos on ideal results in opening day.
History aside, another grinding match is expected in the Panaad Stadium with both teams gunning for maximum points at opening day.
Festivities start at 7PM with the match scheduled to be shown live on national tv on the 5Plus channel and on cable tv via Fox Sports 2.
