Shanghai Port
LDWDWL ⚖
Since being beaten in their last game against Chengdu Rongcheng in Super League action, Shanghai Port will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that match, Shanghai Port had 66% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 8 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Shanghai Port was Gustavo (31'). Chengdu Rongcheng got 15 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Romulo (9'), Wei Shihao (21') and Timo Letschert (74') scored for Chengdu Rongcheng.
Demonstrating their predisposition for fruitful encounters, we’ve seen goals 25 times in the prior 6 matches in which Shanghai Port have sent out their troops, making it an average of 4.17 goals for each fixture. Their opponents have managed 13 of these goals. That pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward here, though.

Team News: Shanghai Port
Shanghai Port boss Kevin Muscat has to currently contend with reduced team options. Tyias Browning (Muscle strain), Lei Wu (Tear of the lateral meniscus) and Zhen'ao Wang (Cruciate ligament tear) miss out here.
🧠
Prediction
Our pre-match assessment is that Shanghai Port should create a good amount of chances and successful shots on target.
In contrast, Yunnan Yukun could well find it tough scoring goals but we can see them hitting back at some stage, too.
We’re therefore expecting to see a fairly comfortable 1-3 margin for Shanghai Port when the referee blows the final whistle.
