Pohang Steelers welcome Johor Darul Ta'zim FC on Tuesday, Oct 13 at 12:00 PM in a AFC Champions League Elite – East fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Pohang Steelers come into this fixture in mixed form (0W 0D 1L). Johor Darul Ta'zim FC, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (0W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
