Svay Rieng host Shanghai Shenhua in the AFC Champions League Two. This is a continental competition, and the two teams come from different leagues and different countries. Svay Rieng have just finished their ASEAN Club Championship campaign with a 0-6 defeat, while Shanghai Shenhua have just crushed their opponents 7-1 in their own league. The two teams therefore head into this game in clearly different shape. Svay Rieng are still unbeaten in their own league, scoring frequently and conceding very few, but when they meet stronger opposition in cup competition they stumble. Shanghai Shenhua, meanwhile, are on an unbeaten run stretching over several matches. Their attack scores plenty and does so consistently, but their defence also has days when it gets picked apart. Svay Rieng will likely sit deep in a compact block and wait for the chance to counter, especially in the second half, where they clearly concede more goals than in the first. The game should open up into spells of end-to-end play, and the thing to watch after kick-off is how well Svay Rieng cope with Shanghai Shenhua's early pressure.
