The game starts at 7:30 p.m. UTC+8. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.

Shandong Luneng was thrashed by Seoul in their first meeting on Aug. 24, 1-3, at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in the South Korean capital city.

In order to advance to the semis, Taishan Dui must win by three or two points over the visitors while also preventing them from scoring more than one away goal in the process. A score of 4-1 or 2-0 would be enough for the hosts to win on away goals rule while 3-0 would be the best.

Head coach Felix Magath will be without Jin Jingdao, though, as the defensive midfielder was suspended by the Asian Football Confederation for 60 days "after testing positive for a banned substance" in the first leg of their match with Seoul, as per ESPN.

Meanwhile, the capital city team are "favorites to reach the semifinals against Shandong" as they come into the "second leg with a two-goal cushion" even if they are now managed by new head coach Hwang Sun-hong, Yonhap News reported.

Hwang replaced former boss Choi Yong-soo, who led Seoul to their 4-1 rout over Shandong during their ACL group stage match in March before joining China top flight squad Jiangsu Suning last June.

This is the first away game of Hwang as Seoul head coach and it could be a factor in the game.
