One of the greatest teams in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua commenced their campaign in June on the back of mixed results in recent times. Before the beginning of June, they had experienced three wins, one defeat and two draws in their last six fixtures. However, they have displayed amazing levels of consistency and quality in the league so far with three wins and a draw so far. The fact that their only imperfect result came against table toppers, Wuhan Three Towns will give them lots of confidence and encouragement going into their upcoming fixtures. They got the better of Hebei FC by 3-1 in their last fixture during the midweek and will look to replicate that result against Wuhan Yangtze River.
Wuhan Yangtze River, on the other hand were enjoying a perfect start to a season with three wins from three before they hit a major bump in the road with a massive defeat at the hands of Wuhan Three Towns. That loss means they dropped out of the top five in the league table albeit the difference between them and the summit is still only four points. Wuhan Yangtze River, who had endured a difficult season last time around, will be keen to get back on track as soon as possible and avoid being caught in a position similar to last season’s. Jinyu Li and his side will be confident to get the better of Shanghai Shenhua and get their campaign back on track.
Shanghai Shenhua’s quest to extend their unbeaten run will be further boosted by the fact that they have no injury or suspension related woes to worry about. Wuhan Yangtze River too reportedly don’t have any fitness related issues except the doubts over the participation of Hu Rentian who had to be substituted in their last game against Wuhan Three Towns. Jinyu Li will have the rest of the team at his disposal.
