Beijing Guoan

- Nick Montgomery was appointed as Beijing Guoan’s manager in January 2026, and his compact 4-4-2 formation has made them a tough team to break down, but also a dangerous one on the counter or on set pieces when it comes to causing trouble at the opposite end of the field.
- Montgomery’s men come into this game in solid form, having won 2, drawn 2 and lost only 1 of their last 5, and their most recent 2 results have been a 3-0 home win over Dalian Yingbo and a 3-3 draw away at Yunnan Yukun.

Shanghai Port
- Shanghai-based Port FC are 12th with 6 points from 10 matches.
- Kevin Muscat was appointed as Shanghai Port’s manager in January 2024, and he has been known for his aggressive, high-pressing style of play.
- Port have been struggling away from home in the Chinese Super League 2026 so far, drawing 1 and losing 3 of their 4 matches, scoring only 2 goals in 4 matches, and their most recent 2 fixtures have seen them draw 1-1 at home to Shenzhen Peng City and lose 3-1 away to Qingdao Hainiu.

- We expect both teams to score and for the over 2.5 goals bet to land.
