Let's look at this intriguing game in the Super League. Shanghai SIPG is in the 2nd position after completing four fixtures. They welcome Shenzhen who are placed 5th after four fixtures.
- Shanghai SIPG have the most clean sheets (10) in Super League
- Shenzhen have the fewest clean sheets (4) in Super League
These teams have little in common geographically as Shenzhen have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Shanghai nor Shenzhen 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.
