This could be an interesting match as Wuhan Zall have their presumed home advantage while Shanghai SIPG are ahead 7 points in the Super League table.
Wuhan have less rest than Shanghai SIPG in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Super League game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Shijiazhuang Ever Bright.
Shanghai SIPG have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
