Barcelona may play the game without Neymar, who injured his groin during practice.

Guangzhou head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari offered these thoughts on the game.

世俱杯:广州恒大将挑战巴萨

"Barcelona without Neymar is still a great team. They have great players besides Neymar. I would say they are a perfect team. I think Neymar is one of the top three players in the world and he has always been thought of as one of those top three players. So not having Neymar in the squad is probably good for us, but obviously Barcelona is still a great team even without him."

Guangzhou come into this match after a 2-1 comeback win over Club America on Sunday.

Zheng Long and Paulinho scored the two goals to help Evergrande with the win.
