JDT only dropped points once at home in the AFC Champions League Elite this season, a goalless draw with Thailand's Buriram United.

 

Last week's win against Australia's Central Coast Mariners was also a boost, as it was their first victory on the road this season and having strengthened their squad, the Malaysian side will be optimistic of their chances.

Pohang will be desperate to redeem themselves after last week's 4-0 humbling by Japan's Kawasaki Frontale as the defeat undid all their hard work prior to the break.

 

The loss left them rooted on nine points but their fate is still very much in their own hands and the Korea Republic side will be up to the task, despite JDT's impressive home record.
