AFC Champions League Elite
Korea Republic side Daejeon last appeared in Asian club football's premier competition in 2003 while Japan's Kyoto will be making their tournament debut.
Daejeon will be determined to avoid the same fate of 2003, when they lost their opening game before going on to register two wins in their remaining games.
They can count on the experience of Jeong Jae-hee, whose stint with Pohang Steelers saw him netting three goals and two assists in five matches for the former Asian champions.
#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday One
Kyoto Sanga will become the 18th side from Japan to participate in the AFC Champions League Elite, with only four
teams from the East Asian nation having lost their first game in the competition.
They will, however, go into the game struggling for form as they have registered only one win in the J1 League this season and fell 3-2 against Kashiwa Reysol on Friday.
