The defeat to Johor Darul Ta'zim was the second heaviest loss the China PR side have suffered on the continental stage and Shenhua will be determined to rebound in style.

In the driver's seat for the Chinese Super League title, Shenhua will be meeting Frontale for the first time but have a poor recent record against Japanese teams - having won only once in their last 10 encounters.

The loss to Gwangju ended Frontale's eight-match unbeaten run in the group stage of the continental tournament.

They, however, have won four of their last five away games in the group stage and will be counting on that record to see them past Shenhua.

Venue: Shanghai Stadium, Shanghai

Kick-off: Wednesday, 20:00 (UTC+8)
