Jeonbuk, who sealed the Korean title on Saturday with a round to spare following a goalless draw with Daejon Citizen, beat Saudi Arabia's Al-Ittihad 3-2 in Jeddah last week and Choi Kang-hee's side know success at Jeonju World Cup Stadium will secure home advantage in November's final against either Qatar's Al Sadd or Korea's Suwon Samsung Bluewings.

Eninho, Son Seng-jun and Cho Sung-hwan scored for 2006 AFC Champions League winners Jeonbuk at Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Stadium, although a brace from Naif Hazazi kept two-time winners Al Ittihad in the tie.

"We still have 90 minutes to play," said Jeonbuk coach Choi following the semi final first leg.

"However, things will be different on our turf and amidst our fans. The pressure shall be bigger on the Saudi team's players, which will let us control the game in a better way.

"We have not made it to the final yet and I don't want to talk about where the final is being held because we are ready to play anywhere."

But Ittihad captain Mohammed Noor, who was part of the Ittihad side, which won back-to-back AFC Champions League titles in 2004 and 2005, believes Dimitri Davidovic's side can complete the second leg comeback.

"They embarrassed us on our land so we will do our best to defeat them at their home," said Noor.

Qualifiers Al Sadd, meanwhile, entertain Korea's Suwon at Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium in pole position following a 2-0 win last week.

Coach Jorge Fossati, though, will be unable to call up forwards Adbul Keita Kader and Mamadou Niang after the pair were sent-off in the second half of last week's heated first leg at Suwon World Cup Stadium.

Senegalese striker Niang scored both goals in the second half, but was sent-off in stoppage time after needlessly kicking the ball away.

Al Sadd will also be without Mesaad Al Hamad for the remainder of the competition after the midfielder suffered a broken nose last week.

Suwon coach Yoon Sung-hyo will also be forced into changes with Stevica Ristikj suspended after the Macedonian striker was sent-off along with Kader after tempers flared following Niang's second goal.

But after winning their quarter-final second leg 2-1 against Zob Ahan, Suwon will be confident of reaching the final after triumphing in stoppage time in Iran at the end of September.

"We won the away leg of the quarter-final in Zob Ahan and it is possible for us to triumph in Qatar," said coach Yoon.
