Yunnan Yukun welcome Shanghai Port at Yuxi Plateau Sports Center Stadium, Yuxi on Friday, Jul 17 at 2:00 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Yunnan Yukun come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Shanghai Port travel drawing too many games (3D in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Yunnan Yukun face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Shanghai Port have won 3 of 3 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Yunnan Yukun won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.7 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Yunnan Yukun a slight edge, but Shanghai Port are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
