AFC Champions League Elite
Thailand's Buriram are reeling from two consecutive away defeats while Shanghai Port are also in desperate need for points after managing a single draw from their earlier ties.
Buriram kicked off their campaign with victory against Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim but then came unstuck against Korea Republic's FC Seoul and Melbourne City FC of Australia, losing 3-0 and 2-1 respectively.
Quarter-finalists last season, Buriram will be desperate to get back on the winning trail but have a poor record against sides from China PR, having won only one of their last eight matches.

#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday Four
Shanghai Port ended Matchday Three firmly rooted at the bottom of the East Zone standings and their struggles have come as a surprise, given their strong form in the Chinese Super League.
A major reason for their troubles is their lack of sharpness in the final third, having managed only 20 shots in their previous three matches and will know that unless they improve, elimination will beckon.
