The S-League champions will host fierce rivals Auckland City who knocked them out last season in the second round, AS Magenta of New Caledonia and Cook Islands Tupapa Maraerenga.
Solomon Warriors coach Moses Toata echoed that playing at home would give his players mixed feelings.
“We are all excited to play at home because it will give us some comfort, confidence but at the same time put some pressure on us,” he said.
“The home crowd is our 12 man on the pitch, but respecting our opponents is a must from the fans.
