The Chinese Super League resumes with a fresh set of fixtures as Beijing Guoan welcome Shanghai Port to the Jiangyin Stadium on Wednesday.
Shanghai Port will be aiming to complete a league double over Beijing Guoan, having claimed a 3-1 victory back in April’s reverse fixture.
Beijing Guoan failed to extend their unbeaten streak to three games last time out as they fell to a 2-0 loss away to Changchun Yatai.
Despite dominating proceedings for most of the game, Long Tan and Jie Sun scored in either half to hand Changchun Yatai the win.
Prior to the defeat, Beijing Guoan’s side picked up a 2-1 win over Hebei before playing out a goalless draw with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger on Monday.
With 10 points from seven games, Slaven Bilic’s men are currently ninth in the Chinese Super League table.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Port returned to winning ways last Thursday as they claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Hebei.
In a drab affair, former Chelsea forward Oscar converted his 46th-minute penalty to hand Shanghai Port their fourth win of the season.
Prior to that, Ivan Leko’s men suffered a 1-0 defeat against Kaya-Iloilo in their AFC Champions League qualification tie, before playing out a goalless draw against Wuhan FC.
With 15 points from seven games, Shanghai Port are currently third in the Chinese Super League table, three points behind leaders Shandong Taishan.
