Test Match Preview - OPTA MATCH WIDGETS

Shanghai: 2016 AFC Champions League quarter-finalists Shanghai SIPG welcome first-timers Sukhothai FC to Shanghai Stadium on Tuesday, as the Chinese team attempt it to the group stages for the second year in a row.

With Andres Villas Boas installed as head coach and a high profile signing in ex-Chelsea midfielder Oscar, fans of the Red Eagles will be hoping the team can at least match last year's run to the quarter-finals, where they lost to eventual champions Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

Sukhothai, meanwhile, will be in high spirits after a thumping 5-0 win over Myanmar's Yadanarbon in preliminary round 2 a week ago. Fans of the Thai FA Cup champions saw four different scorers at Thung Thalay Luang Stadium and will be hoping for an upset as the team travel to Shanghai.
