Shanghai Port will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Chinese Super League when they visit the Dalian Sports Center Stadium to take on Dalian Pro.
The hosts claimed an impressive 3-1 win away to fellow strugglers Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and will aim to carry on with that momentum in this game.
Dalian Pro picked up their first win in five games on Tuesday when they claimed a 3-1 victory over Tianjin Jinmen Tiger.
In an action-packed contest at the Tianjin Olympic Sports Center Stadium, Dalian Pro raced to a three-goal lead before Magno Cruz grabbed a 92nd-minute consolation for the hosts.
Prior to that, the Blue Hawks picked up one point from their last five games as they suffered defeat on four occasions.
The result saw Jose Gonzalez’s men rise from the bottom of the table as they leapfrogged Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Wuhan FC to move into 14th place in the Super League table.
Shanghai Port, on the other hand, suffered a 2-1 defeat against Changchun Yatai last time out.
Despite falling behind through Wenjun L’s 54th-minute opener, Brazilian forward Junior Negao scored a brace in a late six-minute spell to turn the game around and hand Changchun Yatai all three points.
Prior to the defeat, Shanghai Port were on a four-game unbeaten run, picking up two wins and two draws since their defeat to Kaya-Iloilo in their AFC Champions League qualifiers tie.
With 19 points from 10 outings, the Red Eagles are currently fourth on the log, just above fifth-placed Changchun Yatai on goal difference.
