AFC Champions League Two
Port FC advanced to the knockout stage after finishing second in Group F while Jeonbuk had to see off spirited challengers before topping Group H.
Inconsistency plagued Port FC's group stage campaign, with a 5-2 defeat to Lion City Sailors in their final match meaning they finished second behind the Singapore side in Group F.
Port FC will, however, head into the tie ready for battle with the Thai League 1 at the midway point while Jeonbuk have yet to kick off their domestic campaign.

Jeonbuk, however, will be determined to kick off their season with a statement win after a horrendous 2024 which saw them just avoiding relegation from K League 1.
Even their continental campaign was not problem-free but four wins against two defeats proved just enough for the two-time AFC Champions League™ winners to progress.
