Shanghai Port vs Gwangju FC Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Shanghai Port are sitting on the last qualification spot of Group A.

Matchday six of the AFC Champions League Elite will feature Gwangju FC visiting the Chinese side Shanghai Port F.C. Gwangju FC are currently placed second in Group A with 12 points. They have four wins and a loss in the ongoing campaign so far.

Their only loss came against Japanese giants, Vissel Kobe and Gwangju FC will look to avoid a similar result in their next game. Manager Lee Jung-hyo has done an incredible job with his team so far and they are a tough side to beat for any team in the AFC Champions League Elite this season.

Shanghai Port on the other hand have not been as flawless as their opponents. They are currently sitting on the last qualification spot and can’t afford any more slip-ups. They have seven points to their name. With two wins, two losses, and a draw, Shanghai Port are struggling to find consistency this season.

Their defensive frailty can be considered a major reason for that as the Red Eagles have already conceded 11 goals in the ongoing competition. This will be an unmissable encounter for all the football fans. Both teams have something to play for and will push each other to the brink.
