Shanghai Port vows to defeat Henan team

Leah Fields 148 Jul 04, 2024

On Friday night, the Chinese Super League will stage a one-man show, when the Henan team will sit at home to face the challenge of Shanghai Harbor. Shanghai Harbor is the defending champion and still leads the standings this season. Even if this game is a away game, Shanghai Harbor can still win.


Henan team finished the last season in the Chinese Super League with a 10th place. Halfway through this season, they currently have a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses, ranking in the middle of the standings, and the team's progress is not obvious. The reason is that Henan team dug a big hole in the first half of the season. From the end of April to May, they suffered a wave of five consecutive league defeats, and the team's ranking plummeted at that time. Although Henan team's recent situation has gradually improved, they have won all the past three rounds of the league, but the team's current home win rate is only a pitiful 33.33%. Overall, Henan team does not have much home advantage. In addition, in the first round of this season's league, they lost to Shanghai Haigang 1-3, and the players are at a disadvantage. Even if Henan team has the advantage of home court, there is no hope of scoring points.

Shanghai Port was the champion of the Chinese Super League last season. The team's goal this season is of course to defend the title. After 17 rounds, they have won 14 games and drawn 3 games, and are ranked first in the standings with 45 points. However, another team in the same city, Shanghai Shenhua, is also undefeated and only 2 points behind Shanghai Port. Both sides are the biggest favorites to compete for the league championship this season. Therefore, if Shanghai Port wants to win the championship, it cannot afford to lose in the future. Fortunately, Shanghai Port has won ten consecutive league games. During this period, the team was in full swing, and there were many games in which they scored 3 goals or more in a single game. Its form is in full swing. The team's top scorer Wu Lei has scored 19 goals in the league this season, averaging more than 1 goal per game. He is extremely efficient and is far ahead of others in the top scorer list. In this battle, Shanghai Port will challenge the Henan team, which is not as strong as its own team. Under the leadership of Wu Lei , Shanghai Port is expected to win all 3 points.
