At 19:35 Beijing time this evening, a key match in the 8th round of this season's Chinese Super League will officially start at Shanghai Pudong Stadium, Shanghai Port vs. Shanghai Shenhua. Since both teams are in Shanghai, this match is also known as the "Shanghai Derby". Around an hour before the start of the game, both sides announced their starting lineups. Judging from the starting list, the two sides can say that there is a big battle of foreign aid! Which team's foreign aid plays well, then it is not far from winning the game! Of course, Wu Lei, who is super capable, is also at the level of foreign aid, and I expect Wu Lei to score goals!
Before the start of this game, Shanghai Shenhua achieved an unbeaten record of 6 wins and 1 draw in the first 7 rounds of the Chinese Super League this season, scoring 16 goals and conceding only 3 goals, accumulating 19 points, ranking first in the Chinese Super League standings; Shanghai Port achieved a record of 4 wins and 2 draws in the first 7 rounds of the Chinese Super League this season, and also remained unbeaten, scoring 15 goals and conceding 7 goals, accumulating 14 points, temporarily ranking 4th in the standings.
As far as this game is concerned, if Shanghai Shenhua wins the game, it will continue to extend its lead in the Chinese Super League standings, which can be described as a unique ride. On the other hand, there is a 5-point gap between Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua in the Super League standings, and if the goal of the season is to win the Super League championship and win this game, then the gap with Shanghai Shenhua, which is at the top of the list, can be narrowed to 2 points. Therefore, both sides will be on the needle against each other - not giving in to each other.
Judging from the starting list, Shanghai Port sent five foreign aids, and Shanghai Shenhua was not to be outdone, sending four foreign aids. It seems that this game will be a big battle for foreign aid, and which side of the foreign aid plays well will determine the winner or loser of the game. Of course, the biggest unknown is Wu Lei, a local player at the level of foreign aid. In the first 7 rounds of the Chinese Super League this season, Wu Lei scored 7 goals, sent 2 assists, and created 2 penalty kicks, which is not inferior to the foreign strikers of any team in the Chinese Super League. Looking forward to tonight's game, the players on both sides can play to their heart's content, score more goals, and dedicate a big battle to the fans!
