SHN vs SHGP Dream11: The home team come into this Shanghai derby on the back of back-to-back victories to kick off the new season. Despite winning their opening match 2-1 against Beijing Gouan and dominating the shot count, they did only manage 33% of the ball; they followed that up by winning 3-1 at Wuhan and, once again, dominating the shot count. They come up against a Shanghai Port side that have also began impressively by dispatching the hapless Tianjin 6-1 in their opening match and then comfortably defeating Beijing Gouan 3-1, however, like their opponents, they managed very little possession with just 32% of the ball.
