Mile Sterjovski’s Macarthur are top in Group E after four matches – the Isuzu UTE A-League outfit have collected seven points, two more than Vietnam’s Cong An Ha Noi and Chinese club Beijing FC.

The Bulls are in the box seat thanks to their 2-1 triumph over CAHN last time out, a result inspired by Sime Grzan and Socceroo Anthony Caceres. Tai Po, meanwhile, are fourth with four points from four matchdays.

Format, prize money & fixtures

Unlike the ACL Champions League Elite competition which operates in a league format, the ACL Two remains as it was last season; Eight groups consisting of four teams in each, with all sides playing against one another at home and away.

The top two sides from each group will then progress through to the knockout stages of the competition where the draw remains split between ‘East and West’ before the two best sides from each side of the draw will meet in the final.
