Jiangsu Suning are failing in the Chinese Super League: the team recorded just seven points taken with 10-18 goal difference in 10 played games and occupies the 14th position in the standings being at the edge of the relegation to the Jia League. The side of Alex Teixeira and Ramires are focusing on the AFC Champions League: Jiangsu Suning have won the Group H with 15 points gained and 9-3 goal difference. In 2017 Choi Yong-Soo’s team participated in 10 clashes on the road resulting in four triumphs, two draws and four losses.
Generally speaking, both Chinese sides are the teams of nearly the same level, however, I believe that the home-field advantage will be essential in the upcoming fight and will result in the hosts' victory.
Prediction for the match: Shanghai SIPG to win.
