Shanghai Port will head into the tie on a firm footing after having kicked off the defence of their Chinese Super League title with two consecutive wins.

 

Kevin Muscat's side - having conceded 18 goals in the League Stage - must be more defensively resilient if they are to stand a chance of advancing.

Marinos, formerly managed by Muscat, will be confident of extending their victorious run on the continental stage to six - the longest winning streak in the competition for them.

 

They were a different side following their opening 7-3 League Stage defeat to Gwangju FC but will head into the first leg having had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Shonan Bellmare in their J1 League tie on Saturday.

Venue: Pudong Football Stadium (Shanghai)

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