The visiting Beijing Guoan side should be favourites in this visit to Shanghai Shenhua, as the away team holds a 31 point advantage from their 27 league games this season.
Beijing Guoan have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1200 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Shanghai Shenhua can neither be promoted or relegated from Super League.
