Shanghai Port FCsits atop the table with 75 points on board and has maintained a one-point cushion over second-placed Shanghai Shenhua. They are within touching distance of clinching their second consecutive league title, and this upcoming encounter is a must-win situation.

After suffering a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Chengdu Rongcheng FC, which saw them lose their grip at the top, the Red Eagles were quick to respond with a 1-0 win over Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC away from home on Sunday, though it has to be said their performance lacked tenacity.

Providing the opposition is Tianjin Teda, who are poised for a sixth-place finish this season. Compared to last season's eighth-place finish, it's safe to say the away team has performed above expectations, and there can be no complaints.

The Tigers returned to winning ways by defeating Qingdao Hainiu FC 1-0 at home on Sunday. This was consolation for the 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Shandong Taishan beforehand. Making it two wins on the bounce will be a challenging task as they come into this match winless in their last seven away games (L6, D1). Additionally, they have lost their last five matches.
