While a win has proved elusive, Central Coast will take heart from the fact that they have been competitive in all the previous three matches.

Playing at home will give them added confidence and the AFC Cup 2023/24 winners will also be determined to redeem themselves in front of their fans following the Matchday Two defeat to Thailand's Buriram United.

Shanghai Shenhua, on six points, are well on course for a place in the knockout stage and the Chinese Super League side will be determined to not slip up on Tuesday.

They bounced back from the 3-0 defeat to Malaysia's Johor Darul Ta'zim with an impressive 2-0 win over Japan's Kawasaki Frontale and will be focused on earning another three crucial points against a side they will be meeting for the first time.

Venue: Central Coast Stadium (Gosford)

Kick-off: Tuesday, 19:00 (UTC+11)
