Key Players
They will be out to prove that their improvement is genuine against the champions on Friday and with Marko Tolic hitting a purple patch - the striker has scored two of the team’s five goals in their last five games - the visitors will be a danger.
Betting Insights
Our main selection is a Shanghai Port win (at odds of 1.9 ), but we’re adding to the pick by taking the odds-on Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams to Score (BTTS Yes) at 1.52 and 1.45 respectively.
Prediction
- Leonardo is the current focal point up top with three goals in seven league games and this looks like a home win for the favourites, but Aloisi’s philosophy will ensure both teams score.
- However, Shanghai Port’s structure, set-piece quality and ability to play at a tempo of their own makes them very hard to break down, particularly on their home field.
- Zhejiang have the players to get involved and the motivation to make a statement so they should get on the scoresheet in a goal-fest.
