Kuala Lumpur: Four teams from the East may have already qualified for the Round of 16 of the 2010 AFC Champions League but the West teams are more prolific in front of goal.

On the way, these four, along with the other 12 East teams, have scored 84 goals. The West teams, however, have combined for 99 goals from Groups A-D.
