4 years ago 692

Wuhan Three Towns make a trip to the Puwan Stadium to take on Shanghai Port on Tuesday, with the teams being two of the most in-form sides in the Chinese Super League.

The hosts will be looking to receord a fourth victory in five matches, while Wuhan Three Towns set out to pick up a seventh win in a row.

Shanghai Port managed to see off a relegation-threatened Guangzhou FC in a norrow 1-0 victory at the Jinzhou Stadium in Dalian on Friday.

The Red Eagles were in control for the majority of the contest but had to wait until the 83rd minute to break the deadlock courtesy of Oscar’s penalty.

Ivan Leko’s side have picked up 10 points from the available 12, which has seen them move up to sixth place in the standings and just four points off a continental spot.

With just one defeat in five home encounters since the turn of the year, Shanghai Port will be confident of coming away of the contest with a positive result.

On the other hand, Wuhan Three Towns registered their joint-biggest victory of the season as they thrashed Wuhan Yangtze 5-0 on Friday.

Ademilson was the star of the contest, striking two goals and setting up one for Nicolae Stanciu, while Davidson and Kuo Yang also got on the scoresheet.

Wuhan TT remain at the summit of the league table, one point ahead of Shandong TaiShan, although having played a game fewer.

Up next is a task of taking on an opposing side who suffered a 2-1 defeat in the only meeting between the sides on June 19.

Having only dropped two points in their four matches on the road this season, Wuhan Three Towns will certainly take some stopping to prevent them from keeping the juggernaut rolling on.
