Newcastle Jets coach Gary van Egmond is aware that his side is coming up against a tough Ulsan Hyundai outfit tonight.

The Jets need a point to qualify for the next phase of the Asian Champions League but will have a tough job ahead of them as van Egmond pointed out.

"Ulsan are a very strong team that plays a very physical game," he said.

"It will be our job to go out and match the physical energy that they put forth as the home side.

"We are fully aware of the difficult task of getting points away from home in any match, especially one of this magnitude."
