The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their K League campaign, recording four wins and playing out a draw in five games so far. They have the best defensive record in the league, conceding just two goals. They have a three-point lead over the second-placed Pohang Steelers.

The Korean side also boast a wealth of experience in the competition and should come out on top with ease.
