The meeting comes just a few weeks after FC Seoul suffered defeat to their Japanese opponents, with Vissel winning the League Stage tie 2-0.

Vissel, however, will not make the mistake of underestimating FC Seoul after last season's experience which saw them eliminated at the same stage by another side from Korea Republic - Gwangju FC.

FC Seoul will be hoping Vissel's poor knockout stage record against teams from Korea Republic continues, with the Japanese side having won just one of five meetings.

Vissel's attacking talent, however, is impressive with 10 different scorers in the ongoing season, the joint-second most alongside Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal SFC, with only defending champions Al Ahli Saudi FC ahead with 11.
