AFC Champions League Elite
The debutant side from Korea Republic registered impressive wins against Japan's Yokohama F. Marinos and Kawasaki Frontale in their first two fixtures but can expect to be tested by Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta'zim, who have also got off to a good start.
Gwangju showed their phenomenal 7-3 win over Marinos was not a fluke with their 1-0 defeat of Frontale in an away fixture two weeks ago.
Jasir Asani has been at the forefront of Gwangju's campaign, with the Albanian already on four goals and Gwangju will aim to maximise home ground advantage in their bid for a third win.

If Asani has impressed for Gwangju, Arif Aiman has done similarly so for Johor Darul Ta'zim, with the Malaysian international on three goals.
Seeking a knockout stage spot for only the second time in their history, Johor Darul Ta'zim will be fired up for the challenge, especially after their impressive 3-0 Matchday Two win against China PR's Shanghai Shenhua FC.
