Match preview

1. For the first match, I hope Shanghai Port fields their full-strength squad and stops using the league as an excuse to neglect the AFC Champions League. They must show our fighting spirit and demonstrate our football style. Otherwise, others will keep underestimating us! This game is away for Shanghai Port, so winning is tough. A draw would be a hopeful outcome. What do you think?
2. In the second game, Chengdu Rongcheng is playing at home and is stronger than their opponent. They must seize the chance and secure all three points. I believe this target is completely achievable and must be accomplished.
