Command Analysis

Shanghai Port

Current form
Shanghai Port is the winner of the last season of the Chinese championship. The team started the current draw confidently, winning two opening rounds. First there was a victory over Shenzhen (3:1), and then over Changchun Yatai (2:0). The club is approaching the upcoming match in a good mood, but this is still not enough to make the team the favorite, because bookmakers put it up as an underdog despite the home field factor, where Kevin Muscat's players have lost only twice in the last 24 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Shen Zhiguya, Wu Lei and Umijan will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- Shanghai Port has won the last two matches
- In 14 of the 15 matches at home, Shanghai Port scored
Provisional squad: Yang - Li, Wei, Browning, Wang - Hsiu, Mateus Vital - Liu, Mateus Giussa, Gabrielzinho - Leo.

Yokohama F.Marinos

Current form
Yokohama Marinos performed superbly, winning six of the seven matches played and taking first place in the East. The team reached the playoffs, having received a rival team, which is located on the eighth line of the same standings. The Japanese club's game has not been going well lately. We couldn't win in the last three matches: two draws and a defeat, but the bookmakers still believe that the Japanese will be able to win the first match in the AFC Champions League, even playing away.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests are missing Rino Noguchi due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- Yokohama Marinos can't win three matches in a row
- The visitors have won five of the last six away matches.
Approximate composition: Likura – Nagato, Hatanaka, Kamizhima, Matsubara – Eduardo, Nishimura, Amano – Yan, Anderson Lopez, Elber.

In the last two matches, Shanghai Port scored in the second 45 minutes.
1.77Tip and bets
Shanghai Port started the new season well in the national championship and scored five times in the opening two rounds. Yokohama Marinos is currently experiencing some difficulties in terms of the game, and just one win in the last five games speaks volumes about this. We are inclined to believe that there will be a lot of dangerous moments in this match and both teams will be lucky to score in two halves.
Our betting tip is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.72
Betting on the outcome
We do not agree with the bookmakers who make the guests the favorite of the match. The hosts are demonstrating football that is not inferior in class, so at least Shanghai Port will not be defeated on its own field. Until the Japanese team has reached its optimal head start, you need to use this moment.
Our betting tip is that Shanghai Port will not lose with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
Shanghai Port has conceded only one goal in the last four meetings. Yokohama Marinos have conceded only three times in the last six matches. Such indicators indicate that the defense is working out its bread at the proper level, so we are not expecting a large number of serves from the corner flag.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 9.5 corners in 1.65
