Shandong suffered a 5-0 defeat to the two-time champions on Matchday Two, but the Chinese Super League club have shown much progress since and Yu expects nothing but the best from his players in the rematch at the Buriram City Stadium.
The three best second-placed teams will join the five group winners in the Round of 16, with Jeonbuk's earlier results placing them in a favourable position even if they finish runners-up to their Japanese opponents.
A draw for Kitchee will put them in a comfortable spot for the last 16 as one of the three best runners-up and Baena is looking forward to creating history with the Hong Kong champions.
The path to the Round of 16 remains complicated for the tournament debutants, with results from Pathum Thani and beyond potentially having an impact on their chances.
