The 2006 Asian champion Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors will be out for revenge against its Chinese rival this week at the top club competition on the continent.

Jeonbuk will be one of four South Korean K League Classic teams in action this week at the Asian Football Confederation Champions League.

Along with Jeonbuk, FC Seoul, Suwon Samsung Bluewings and Pohang Steelers will play their second group-stage matches.

Two weeks ago, only FC Seoul emerged victorious to open the Champions League, while three other clubs only salvaged draws.

On Tuesday, FC Seoul will face Buriram United of Thailand in Group E action on the road, and Jeonbuk, in Group F, will host Guangzhou Evergrande of China.

Then on Wednesday, Pohang will travel to Uzbekistan to take on Bunyodkor in Group G, while Suwon will bring home Guizhou Renhe of China in Group H.

In last year’s Champions League, Jeonbuk was also in the same group with Guangzhou and suffered an embarrassing 5-1 loss against the Chinese club before the stunned home crowd in Jeonju, some 240 kilometers south of Seoul.

Jeonbuk, a finalist in the 2011 Champions League, never recovered from that defeat and failed to make it past the group stage in 2012. (Yonhap News)
