AFC Champions League Elite
Malaysia's JDT have not been able to get the better of their Thai opponents in their last four meetings, with Buriram winning their last two encounters.
Having made the quarter-finals for the first time last season, JDT will be determined to emulate - if not better that - and they know their mission has to start with victory against ASEAN rivals.
The Sultan Ibrahim Stadium is a fortress for them and JDT will be determined to finally get the better of Buriram and kick off their campaign on an emphatic note.

Buriram, however, will be confident of getting the better of JDT once again and will seek a third win as they too look to better their quarter-final appearance of last season.
The Thai champions certainly have the players to extend their streak against JDT, setting the stage for a thrilling ASEAN derby.
