Suzhou Dongwu

LDDWLW ⚖

Suzhou Dongwu will be looking for a repeat result of a 0-4 Chinese FA Cup success against Quanzhou Qinggong.

It has not been often in recent times that Suzhou Dongwu have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Suzhou Dongwu have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 10 goals on the way. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, however.

Shanghai Port

LWLWWD

In their previous game, Shanghai Port drew 1-1 in the Super League match with Shandong Luneng.

In that game, Shanghai Port managed 62% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Shanghai Port was Wu Lei (85'). On the other side, Shandong Taishan had 20 shots on goal with 12 on target. Valeri Qazaishvili (57') scored for Shandong Luneng.

Shanghai Port have seen success in front of goal of late, having scored 11 times in their last 6 matches. While their manager Kevin Muscat will no doubt take that as a positive sign, Shanghai Port can also improve defensively after being scored against in 5 of those same games.

📰 Team News: Shanghai Port

Shanghai Port manager Kevin Muscat has a number of players out of action. Umidjan Yusup (Arm injury) and Zhen'ao Wang (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out on this game.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Shanghai Port will, in all probability, dominate possession and create several successful chances.

In contrast, Suzhou Dongwu might well find it difficult finding the net themselves but we do see them hitting back at some stage, too.

We’re predicting a decent 1-3 winning margin for Shanghai Port at the end of the 90 minutes.
