Macarthur

The "Bulls" encountered no difficulties during the group stage of the tournament. In six matches, Macarthur netted 23 goals while conceding only five. However, they suffered a rather painful defeat, losing 0-3 away to Cambodia's Phnom Penh Crown. Nevertheless, this defeat in Cambodia did not affect their overall standings in the group. Approaching the playoffs, Milorad Sterjovski's side secured a crucial away victory of 1-0 against Melbourne Victory in the Australian A-League. This win over a direct competitor in the championship allowed them to leapfrog Melbourne in the league standings. Currently, the "Bulls" occupy the third position with 28 points, trailing the league leaders Wellington Phoenix by five points.

Sabah

Sabah also topped their group during the group stage but suffered two defeats. Away from home, the "Rhinos" lost 2-3 to Vietnam's Hai Phong, and in the last round, they were defeated 1-3 at home by Indonesia's PSM Makassar. Coming into the match against Macarthur, Ong Kim Swee's side is returning from a lengthy break. In their last match in mid-December, the "Rhinos" defeated Kedah 2-0 in the Malaysian Super League. As a result, Sabah finished third in the league with 54 points, which means they won't be playing in the Asian Cups next season.
