Despite Vissel's obvious quality, Daejeon will be optimistic of their chances after enjoying a flying start to their campaign.

A 1-0 opening matchday win against Kyoto Sanga FC was followed by an impressive 1-1 draw with Shanghai Port FC, with Daejeon also having the record of having won both their prior AFC Champions League Elite meetings with Japanese sides.

Vissel, however, are on a five-match winning streak against teams from Korea Republic.

Playing Daejeon away will also not faze them as Vissel have won their last matches when on the road.

Venue: Daejeon World Cup Stadium (Daejeon)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+9)
