Jeonbuk Hyundai shouts for Jeonjusung's sure win to advance to the round of 16

For Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, who are ranked 10th in the East Asian League stage with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss (4 points), this 4th home game is a critical watershed that will decide whether they will advance to the tournament (top 8). Coach Jeong Jeong-yong said at the pre-official press conference that he would mobilize all the best members available and bring results at home without fail. The key is to maintain a tight defensive gap between the midfield and the sides to counter Johor's characteristic of increasing ball possession with spectacular individual skills, and to utilize practical yet sharp counterattacking tactics that take advantage of Lee Seung-woo's creative dribbling and Bruno Motta's finishing ability immediately after winning the ball.

Undefeated in 114 domestic league games, multinational team Johor’s fierce momentum

Johor Darul Takzim, led by coach Cisco Muñoz, is a powerhouse in Asia, having won the Malaysian Super League for 12 consecutive years and being undefeated in 114 consecutive games in the domestic league, as well as racing to the top with 2 wins and 1 draw in this tournament as well. In particular, they proved their teamwork and physicality to be at par with K-League teams, including a 2-0 victory over Pohang Steelers in the previous round. Victory or defeat will depend on how effectively the Jeonbuk full-back line can control the flank attacks of foreign players from Europe and South America, including Malaysian national team ace Arif Aiman, Marcos Guilhermi, Arribas, and Figueiredo.
