🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Shanghai Port can create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger could well struggle to find the back of the net although we think that they will probably end up managing to get on the scoresheet here.

Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 1-3 winning score for Shanghai Port at the end of this one.
