AFC Champions League: Who will the A-League clubs face?

The 2017 AFC Champions League starts later this month with three A-League clubs involved. But who will Adelaide, the Wanderers and Roar play?

With Brisbane Roar's superb win over Shanghai Shenhua on Wednesday night, there are three A-League clubs in the AFC Champions League (ACL) group stage.
