JDT will be looking to revive their 2022 AFC Champions League hopes when they take on Guangzhou Evergrande on Thursday.
The Malaysian champions made a superb start to their campaign, hammering Guangzhou 5-0 in their Group I opener, before seeing off Ulsan 2-1 on matchday 2.
However, the double header against Kawasaki dampened their spirits somewhat as they had to settle for just the one point.
The scoreless draw on matchday three will have been regarded as a decent result for JDT, but the 5-0 demolition in the reverse fixture will have hurt their confidence significantly.
Guangzhou, meanwhile, have had a torrid time at the competition so far.
It all started with a heavy defeat at the hands of JDT, before Kawasaki crushed their spirits even more with an 8-0 victory.
Ulsan then piled even more misery on the Chinese outfit on matchday three and four as Guangzhou find themselves pointless at this stage.
