AFC Champions League Elite - Preview: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC (KOR) v Johor Darul Ta’zim (MAS)

Jeonju: Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC know they will have to be on their toes against Johor Darul Ta’zim in the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/2027™ on Tuesday.

Korea Republic's Jeonbuk will head into the tie having collected just one point from their last two matches while Malaysia's JDT are unbeaten three games into the season.

Two-time AFC Champions League™ winners Jeonbuk had to fight tooth and nail for a share of the points with China PR's Beijing FC on Matchday Three but they would not have been overly pleased with the result.

With their reign as champions of Korea Republic over, the continental stage is a chance for them to shine but since their opening day win against Japan's Kashiwa Reysol, Jeonbuk have been sputtering.

JDT, on the other hand, have grown stronger since the goalless draw with Thailand's Buriram United on Matchday One with the Malaysian champions recording back-to-back wins.

While this will be their first meeting with Jeonbuk, JDT are on a three-game winning streak against sides from Korea Republic in the competition and will be confident of a fourth victory.
