AFC Champions League
Soon after the end of the Chinese Super League season, four Chinese Super League teams holding the qualifications for the AFC Champions League this season embarked on their journey to Doha.
Starting from this Friday, four teams from the Chinese Super League will face the fourth round of the AFC Champions League group stage one after another.
On Friday night, Beijing Guoan will usher in a victory contest with Melbourne.
In the first three rounds of the group match, Guoan scored 9 points for 3 wins and Melbourne scored 3 points for 1 win and 2 losses. The points advantage is obvious.
In addition, as long as Guoan draws in this round of the game, it can lock the qualifying group in advance.
Compared with the invincibility of Guoan, Guangzhou Evergrande performed mediocre.
In the first two games, Evergrande had 1 loss and 1 tie, ranking last in the group.
This Saturday, they will face the Kobe Victory Ship.
In the absence of a championship in the league and two games in the AFC Champions League, coach Cannavaro is facing a lot of pressure.
This game will be his key battle to prove himself.
The two teams from Shanghai Beach are currently in similar situations, and both temporarily occupy the second place in their respective groups. Although they are dominant, it is not safe to secure the seats in the group.
Moreover, if you want to go further in the AFC Arena, and strive to qualify for the first place in the group stage, there will be a high probability of facing a weaker opponent in the first round of the knockout.
Therefore, SIPG and Shenhua will continue to do their best to fight for victory.

27th 18:00 AFC Champions League Group E Melbourne victory-Beijing Guoan
27th 21:00 AFC Champions League Group F Shanghai Shenhua-Perth Glory

Eight Chinese Super League teams and eight Chinese A teams were divided into two divisions, Suzhou and Changzhou.
Except for Shanghai Shenhua, which was eliminated in the first round of the Super League season, Shanghai SIPG, Evergrande and Guoan all face the task of fighting in the AFC and the FA Cup.
Therefore, the three teams coincided with each other to send a young lineup to play in the FA Cup, with the main lineup for the AFC Champions League.
That's the case, this weekend's event is still very interesting.
Beijing Guoan sent the U20 echelon to participate this time. All the players are 20 years old and below, and the youngest is only 17.
On the 28th, they will face the challenge of Chengdu Xingcheng Habitat. The latter won fourth place in the Chinese League this season. Their strength should not be underestimated.
Facing the challenge of the strong teams in China, can the Guoan teenagers withstand the pressure?
The answer will be announced on Saturday night.
Guangzhou R&F performed poorly in the Super League this season.
While fighting for the AFC Champions League, R&F also hopes to make a breakthrough on the stage of the Football Association Cup.
At present, R&F personnel are neatly organized, and foreign aid is also returning to the team.
Facing Suzhou Soochow on the 29th, as long as they play a normal level, the probability of qualifying to the top 8 is still very high.
Many giant teams have shifted their focus to other battlefields. There are many foreign players not in the Chinese Super League, Suning, Jiangsu and Suning. Shandong Luneng has become the biggest favorite in the FA Cup right now. But this round, they are just in the play-offs. The broken Zhejiang Greentown, second in the last season, must not be taken lightly.
