Yokohama FM vs Shanghai Port Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The hosts will come in with a one-goal advantage.

Yokohama F. Marinos are all set to host Shanghai Port in the AFC Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 second leg. Yokohama FM had a slightly better attack rate and were successful in scoring a goal which will be beneficial for them going into the second leg. Shanghai Port’s defence was loose, hence they conceded the goal.

Yokohama FM will have a clear chance of going through as they have the advantage of a goal here. The hosts should defend well and score a goal or two to make it easier for them. Yokohama FM will be at home which will be another advantage for them. It is not going to be an easy task for them.

Shanghai will be looking to play some attacking football as they are behind by a goal and another disadvantage will be the away ground. They will have to come up with a better attack rate and should work on defence as well. Shanghai Port are not in a position to concede a goal here.
