Shanghai Port vs Johor DT Predictions

Shanghai can take their dazzling domestic form onto the international stage in Wednesday's AFC Champions League Elite clash.

A home win with a minimum of two goals seems a likely outcome at SAIC Motor Pudong Arena

Shanghai Port won 20 of their last 21 matches
Shanghai Port won 13 of their last 14 home matches
Shanghai Port scored 2+ goals in their last 30 home victories
Johor DT lost 9 of their last 14 away matches (AFC Champions League Elite)

Head to Head

Shanghai Port and Johor DT will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

Shanghai Port Form

Shanghai Port extended their unbeaten home record to 14 matches with a comfortable 2-0 win against Shenzhen Peng City last weekend. The Red Eagles won 13 of those games, scoring a remarkable 55 goals in the process.

Kevin Muscat's in-form side won by more than one goal in 12 of their last 13 home victories, with an average of over four goals scored per victory.

The Chinese hosts will be keen to improve upon a poor record in this competition. Shanghai lost each of their last five home AFC Champions League Elite matches between 2020 and 2023.

Shanghai Port Team News

Port boss Muscat has just one fresh injury concern after Gustavo was replaced at the interval in last Friday's win against Shenzhen Peng City. Feng Jin is on standby to replace the Brazilian in the home attack.

Will Donkin remains a long-term absentee for Shanghai.

Johor DT Form

In-form Malaysian champions Johor DT make the trip to China in high spirits following a routine 5-0 win against Pulau Pinang last week. Jorge Obregón's double strike secured an 18th consecutive home win for Héctor Bidoglio's side. Remarkably, Johor scored 80 goals in those 18 successive victories.

Domestically dominant, DT have won 27 and lost just two of their last 30 matches since September 2023.

At this level, the Malaysians are a little less consistent. Bidoglio's men won five and lost five of their last ten AFC Champions League ties since 2022.

Johor DT Team News

Head coach Bidoglio is likely to retain faith in the same XI that eased past Pulau Pinang. Spanish defender Jordi Amat is the only injury absentee for the away side.

Verdict

Shanghai Port v Johor DT

Shanghai are a serious force at the SAIC Motor Pudong Arena.

I'm putting my faith in the hosts to win with at least two goals scored.
