Our thinking is that Dalian Yingbo will have their work cut out to see themselves scoring against this Shanghai Shenhua team who we think will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

Therefore, we predict a good battle with a 0-1 winning score for Shanghai Shenhua at the end of the 90.

We’ll see what happens.
