Team statistics:

Panthers will have home advantage, while ASPAC begin their campaign with the demands of an away fixture. The venue could play a significant role, particularly if the match remains close during the opening stages. Panthers will look to use familiar surroundings and early support from the stands to take control, while ASPAC must produce a disciplined performance to avoid allowing the hosts to dictate the tempo.

The first goal may be decisive, with both defences facing their first major test of the campaign and neither side having a scoring record to protect.
