Out of action on the continental stage since February, but with a full Chinese Super League campaign under their belt, the Chinese outfit are confident of mounting a challenge in a competition where they have been regular participants, but rarely serious contenders.

With three points in the bank from their earlier hit out against Chiangrai United, Génésio’s charges will have the opportunity to rise to the top of Group E with a win at Education City Stadium, and the Frenchman declared there was a sense of optimism around the club, despite what has been a challenging 2020.

The Korea Republic side picked up a point from a 1-1 draw against FC Tokyo back in February, needing a late own goal from the opposition to secure the draw.

The striker scored a pair of second half headers to overturn a 1-0 half-time deficit, giving Vitor Pereira’s side a winning start to their belated Group H campaign, and putting them on track for their fifth consecutive knockout stage appearance.
