A continental showdown awaits as Johor Darul Ta’zim FC (JDT) welcome Chinese powerhouse Shanghai Port FC to the iconic Stadium Sultan Ibrahim for another thrilling night of AFC Champions League Elite action.

Under Xisco Muñoz, the Southern Tigers have shown growing maturity and tactical sharpness on the Asian stage — blending their trademark attacking style with newfound structure and intensity. With passionate home support behind them, JDT will be eager to assert their dominance and secure a vital result that could strengthen their position in Group A.

Standing in their way is Shanghai Port FC, one of China’s most formidable sides, boasting star quality and international pedigree. With a lineup filled with experience from both domestic and foreign talents, the visitors will be determined to take maximum points on Malaysian soil and boost their own qualification hopes.

As two ambitious clubs collide, expect fireworks in Iskandar Puteri — a contest of skill, speed, and tactical intelligence that could define the path ahead for both teams in this year’s AFC Champions League Elite campaign.

Will JDT continue their fearless charge on the Asian front, or will Shanghai Port’s firepower prove too strong under the southern lights?
