Our thinking is that Henan Jianye are likely to score against this Shanghai Port outfit, although just one goal may not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 win for Shanghai Port when all is said and done. Expecting it to be very competitive.
