Daejeon Citizen reach their opening group game after three busy weeks between league and cup: four wins and two defeats in their last six outings. The most recent result is a 5-0 at Bucheon FC 1995, before that a 1-3 loss at Jeju United FC; further back a 2-1 over Ulsan Hyundai FC and a 3-0 against Gangwon FC at home, a 3-2 at Asan Mugunghwa in the FA Cup and a 2-4 away to FC Seoul. Kyoto Sanga come in with two wins, two draws and two defeats over the same span. The recent picture reads 0-2 at FC Tokyo and 1-1 at Yokohama F. Marinos; before that came a 2-1 against Avispa Fukuoka and a 1-0 over Maruyasu Okazaki in the Emperor Cup, further back a 1-3 at home to Mito Hollyhock and a 2-2 at Kawasaki Frontale. There is no record of a previous meeting between the two. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
