Wuhan Three Towns still need to scrap for points to get clear of the bottom zone, while Shanghai Shenhua sit in 8th and still have a shot at climbing higher, so this is a game both sides need points from, for different reasons. Wuhan Three Towns had just thrashed a visiting side 5-1, but after that they drew two and lost heavily 1-4 before coming back to draw 1-1 in their latest match. Overall their defence still leaks and they have not beaten anyone in four straight games. As for Shanghai Shenhua, they are unbeaten in five straight, but in the league they had just thrashed a side 7-1 and before that won 3-1 and 2-1, so their attacking game clearly looks more dangerous. The game should be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides defend loosely and both have weaknesses late in games. Wuhan Three Towns will have to take the initiative to chase three points at home, while Shanghai Shenhua will likely wait to counter at speed from midfield going forward, which is the pattern that should produce goals for both sides.
