Shanghai Port

WLDLWL

Shanghai Port will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 3-1 Super League loss in their previous game against Qingdao Hainiu.

In that game, Shanghai Port managed 64% possession and 10 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Qingdao Hainiu had 11 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Yaw Yeboah (68') was the scorer for Qingdao Hainiu.

It has not been often in recent games that Shanghai Port have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Shanghai Port have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 8 goals along the way. In any event, we must now wait to see whether that trend might persist here in this game or not.

Sichuan Jiuniu
