Suzhou Dongwu
LDDWLW ⚖
Suzhou Dongwu, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 0-4 Chinese FA Cup triumph vs 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 the game prior to this, Shanghai Port drew 1-1 in the Super League match with Shandong Luneng.
In that game, Shanghai Port had 62% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Shanghai Port was Wu Lei (85'). Shandong Taishan had 20 shots at goal with 12 of them on target. Valeri Qazaishvili (57') was the scorer 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.

Shanghai Port boss Kevin Muscat has some current player fitness concerns. Junling Yan (Ankle injury), Umidjan Yusup (Arm injury) and Zhen'ao Wang (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.

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.
