AFC Champions League Elite
Thailand side Ratchaburi's only previous appearance was in 2021 while Shanghai Port are regular participants.
Ratchaburi's debut five years ago was a forgettable one, with the side failing to score in any of their six matches, the joint longest goalless streak by any side in the competition.
They will, however, fancy their chances against a Shanghai Port side who are struggling domestically.

Shanghai Port's defence of their Chinese Super League title is as good as over and the AFC Champions League Elite gives them a chance to salvage their campaign.
While Shanghai Port have lost their only previous meeting with a side from Thailand (1-0 vs Buriram United in November 2025), they have kept a clean sheet in each of their last three AFC Champions League Elite games, their longest such streak in the competition. However, they also failed to score in their last three, their joint longest streak in the competition.
