Wuhan Yangtze take on Shanghai Port at the Dalian Sports Center in the Chinese Super League on Saturday, with both sides having had similar starts to the season.
Wuhan Yangtze are currently seventh in the league, three points off the top three. Jinyu Li's side have faltered of late, having lost their last two games on the trot and they will be going into the game off the back of a 2-0 loss against Shanghai Shenhua last time out. They will look to bounce back with a win against Shanghai Port.
Shanghai Port are currently 11th in the league, three points behind their opponents. Ivan Leko's side have been in disappointing form of late, having lost three of their last five games across all competitions. They will hope to turn things around with a win against Wuhan Yangtze on Saturday.
Both sides will want to climb up the table with a win and that should make for an exciting contest.
