JEONBUK MOTORS  Kim MS Park WJ, Shim WY, Cho SH, Choi CS Jung Hoon, Kim SS Seo JJ, Eninho, Luis Henrique Lee DG | AL ITTIHAD  Zaid P. Jorge, Al Mowald, Al Montasheri, Al Saeed Kariri, Abushgeer Al Enzi, Noor, Wendel Hazazi |
Striker Lee Dong-Gook remains under an injury cloud after limping out of the first leg with a thigh injury but the problem doesn't seem too serious and he could play. Forward Jeong Seong-Hoon is definitely out with a fractured rib.
It may appear Al Ittihad have a mountain to climb to qualify for the final as they require a two-goal victory in Korea. That won't be easy and so the loss of Algeria international striker Abdelmalek Ziaya is a blow after he was stretchered out of the first leg. Dangerous Kuwaiti winger Fahad Al Enezi is likely to start in his place.

Al Ittihad have to attack to get themselves back in the tie, but that will suit free-scoring Jeonbuk who have the defensive steel, led by captain Cho Sung-Hwan, capable of holding out the Tigers
