The final match-day of the group stage for the AFC Champions League begins later today.

Chinese clubs don't have too much to worry about in their games. 

Jiangsu Suning secured its top position in the group early on having won all four of its opening games and has no pressure against Adelaide. 

However they are still languishing at the bottom of the table in the domestic league and coach Choi Yong Soo has a point to prove. 

Chinese Super League leader Guangzhou Evergrande will have to work for a berth in the next stage but can do that if they manage to stay unbeaten against Suwon Samsung. 

Captain Zheng Zhi says they will not stop at a draw. 

"The first thing the players think about on the pitch is how to beat the opponents. We all want to win the game. We will only consider a draw to make sure we qualify for the next round if that is the situation deep into the game or in stoppage time. It is different from winning the game and reaching the knock-outs. But at the beginning of the game we only worry about how to win it," the captain says. 

Coach Luis Felipe Scolari agrees they are in a good position and trusts his players. 

Shanghai SIPG will be vying for the group's top spot against the Western Sydney Wanderers tomorrow. 

SIPG can avoid a Chinese derby against Suning if they finish top of its group.
