Venue: Shanghai Stadium (56842 seats)

The managers Vítor Pereira and F. Cannavaro are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Super League league table.

It's no vacation for neither Shanghai SIPG nor Guangzhou Evergrande as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Guangzhou Evergrande have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1400 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
