AFC Champions League Elite
Reigning Chinese Super League champions Shanghai Port only have a point to their name while Japan's Machida are only in a slightly better position, having played to draws in their first two matches.
Head coach Kevin Muscat expressed satisfaction after Shanghai Port came form behind to force a 1-1 draw with Sanfrecce Hiroshima three weeks ago.
The Australian tactician will be hoping for more of the same from his players, especially with home ground advantage.

#ACLElite - Preview: Matchday Three
Machida, appearing in their maiden AFC Champions League Elite, will be desperate to savour victory after their earlier draws.
Their Matchday Two goalless stalemate against Johor Darul Ta'zim was impressive, given the Malaysian side's form when playing at home, but if Machida are to enjoy an extended run, they need to start winning.
