Antlers were summarily dispatched by Suwon in their Group G opener in March but have since bounced back and are now level with Bluewings on nine points at the top of the table.

And Oliveira, who could be without prolific striker Marquinhos due to a groin injury as well as defender Daiki Iwamasa, believes the J.League champions can exact a measure of revenge against their Korean counterparts in a game that will see the winner confirm their place in the knockout stages.

"I don't care about that result," he said.

"I am optimistic as we are playing at home this time and there's always a good chance of a team winning at home.

"In such a big game between the two champions from the two leagues, little things will make the difference.

"Our intention is to win the match and that is what we have to do, it's a chance for us to advance in this competition."

Suwon will be missing Li Weifeng through suspension after the defender was sent off in the 2-1 win over Shanghai Shenhua two weeks ago and manager Cha Bum-kun admitted the Chinese international's absence will be felt.

"I cannot say that missing Li won't affect us," he said.

"But we'll look to overcome it by pulling together and being mentally strong.

"I've studied Japanese football, they have good technique and tactics at a high level. To win in a big game like tomorrow can only be done with a strong mentality. A good team has great mental strength."

The group's other game sees Shanghai travel to Singapore Armed Forces in a game the Chinese side need to win to maintain their hopes of qualification.

SAF have been outclassed in their inaugural campaign, shipping 15 goals in four games. Nevertheless, coach Richard Bok stressed they would never follow Sharjah's lead and pull out of the tournament.

"I don't think we have ever considered withdrawing from the AFC Champions League," he said.

"It's a huge achievement for us to be in this competition and it has been part of the learning curve for everybody at this club.

"We've raised our game when we've played in the ACL and it has taken a lot out of our players especially with the travel involved and the number of matches that we have played.

"That has obviously impacted on our results in the S-League and Singapore Cup but we have no regrets about taking part as we have gained a lot of experience and it has given us a chance to see where we really stand."

Shanghai boss Jia Xiuquan reinforced the need to leave Singapore with all three points.

"As long as everybody is prepared, things will be perfectly fine but there can be no excuses because we are here to get a win," he said.

"We must get victories in our last two games to progress to the knockout stage so the only important outcome tomorrow is a win. The final score doesn't matter."
