Shanghai Port host Qingdao Hainiu at SAIC Motor Pudong Arena, Shanghai on Sunday, Aug 23 at 1:35 PM in the Super League.
Shanghai Port come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Qingdao Hainiu travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Shanghai Port here — they've won 7 of 9 previous meetings against Qingdao Hainiu. Their last encounter ended in Shanghai Port won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 5.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shanghai Port a slight edge, but Qingdao Hainiu are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
