This AFC Champions League Elite match brings Shanghai Port up against Daejeon Citizen, two teams from different leagues and different countries, each needing points from this game to keep their path in this competition alive. Shanghai Port play at home after just winning in the league with a 2-0 scoreline, their attack still ticking along as usual, while Daejeon Citizen arrive from Korea with rather unsettled form. Their last match, a 0-3 defeat, leaves some cause for concern in defence, but this team has not come just to sit back. This game should open up into an exchange from the start, since both sides look likely to score. The first half may be the spell where the hosts press and try to take the lead before the break, but in the second half, if Daejeon Citizen adjust their rhythm and push the game up, it could turn into more of a trading of blows than what we saw in the first half.
