Shanghai Port and BG Pathum United get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this AFC Champions League Play-offs fixture.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting BG Pathum United have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 12-12-13 (win-draw-loss) from 37 matches.
These teams have little in common geographically as BG Pathum United have to travel 3700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Shanghai nor BG Pathum United as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
