After suffering a 2-1 defeat away to Meizhou Hakka FC two weeks ago, Changchun Yatai managed to reignite their confidence in their most recent league match, defeating Nantong Zhiyun FC in a narrow 3-2 home victory.

In light of this result, Chen Yang's men have avoided defeat in their last eight home matches at the Changchun Stadium, recording five wins and three draws. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a four-match winning streak at home and have preserved three clean sheets in the process.

With 27 points accumulated from 25 matches, Changchun Yatai FC occupies 10th place in the Chinese Super League standings level on points 9th-placed and 11th-placed Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC and Wuhan Three Towns, respectively.

Despite their performance not living up to expectations, Shanghai Port FC were able to get the job done either way in a recent 2-0 home victory over Shenzhen Peng City FC. This followed a disappointing 2-2 draw against Malaysia's heavyweights Johor Darul Ta'zim in the AFC Champions League group stage fixture on Wednesday. 

The Red Eagles have only suffered one defeat in their last 14 away matches in the league (W11, D2) and head into this match boasting a five-match winning streak against their opponents in this impending encounter. 

With 66 points accumulated from 25 matches, Shanghai Port FC comfortably sits at the top of the Chinese Super League standings and has maintained a two point cushion over second-placed Shanghai Shenhua. 

• Changchun Yatai FC has lost their last two home matches against Shanghai Port FC.
• Shanghai Port FC has conceded a goal in three of their last five league matches.
• Changchun Yatai FC averages 1.58 goals per game when playing at home, and Shanghai Port FC averages 2.58 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 20 meetings, Changchun Yatai FC has won 4 times, Shanghai Port FC has won 13 times, and there have been 3 draws, with the goal difference being 46-23 in favor of Shanghai Port FC. 

Shanghai Port have without a doubt proven that they are never an easy match in the Chinese Super League this season. Besides boasting a strong squad, Kevin Muscat's team has been the dominant side in this fixture over the past meetings, and we expect them to have no trouble brushing aside Changchun Yatai, a side they've maintained a five-match winning streak against. 

Therefore, support the away side to cover the Asian handicap spread of -1.5, considering this has been the case in their past five encounters in this fixture.

• Handicap 2 (-1.5) for 1.73
• Goals - Over 3.5 for 1.64
