📋 Team News: Shanghai Shenhua

Due to a mostly available group of players, there is only a single fitness problem for the Shanghai Shenhua gaffer Leonid Slutskiy to be concerned with. Ibrahim Amadou (Collateral ligament injury) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

In our view, Sichuan Jiuniu are certainly able to put one past this Shanghai Shenhua outfit, although just one goal probably shouldn’t be enough.

We therefore reckon that it will be a 1-2 winning margin for Shanghai Shenhua at full-time. Let’s see what happens here.
