Shenhua come in off a convincing 4-1 home win, boasting an impressive home scoring average of 2.14 goals per game. Guoan, meanwhile, average 1.65 goals on the road, and recent head-to-head numbers point strongly toward an open contest—with their last meetings averaging 3.2 goals per game. With both sides packing enough attacking quality to punish defensive lapses, this has all the ingredients for a high-tempo, high-scoring affair.
