The two teams' most recent matches went in opposite directions. Shanghai Port just thrashed the opposition 6-4 at home in the AFC Champions League Elite, while Chengdu Rongcheng just lost 0-1 at home in the league. This game is therefore a meeting between a team full of confidence and a team that has just stumbled. Shanghai Port are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, but their defence is still a concern, as they have conceded in every recent game. Chengdu Rongcheng still lead the table with 52 points from 27 matches, but they have not won either of their last two league games, and an attack that used to score freely is starting to go quiet. The pattern of play is likely to see the home side dominate possession slightly more and try to press from the start of the first half, but the second half may open up into more of an exchange, as both teams have weaknesses late in games that they need to watch.
