On September 13, 2024, at 19:00 pm, in the 25th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), the defending champion of the CSL, Shanghai Harbor, was defeated by the Chinese Super League (CSL).
Will play at home against average Shenzhen Xinpengcheng.
Shanghai Seaport has a good record this season, with 20 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss after 24 rounds and 63 points, leading the Chinese Super League table, but the lead is not big. Shanghai Seaport will be distracted by the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup, so they will be looking for a win against Shenzhen Xinpengcheng. Shanghai Seaport beat Shenzhen Xinpengcheng 6:0 on the road in the first match between the two teams, but this time when they meet again, Shanghai Seaport is affected by the 18 strong match, Wu Lei, Jiang Guangtai and Yan Junling have just returned from the national team.
Coming back in shape is hard to guarantee.
To make matters worse, Shanghai Seaport also suffered two early fatal blows as Wei Zhen and ace wideout Leo
Chitardini will be suspended for this match. Wei Zhen was suspended for his red card in the last match, and Leo was suspended for accumulating 4 yellow cards. Both of them are the main players of the team, and their absence will greatly weaken the team's strength in offense and defense, as well as bring negative psychological effects. Wei Zhen's suspension is a big blow to Shanghai Seaport's backline, which will greatly reduce their defensive ability. Leo's suspension is a loss for the team's midfield, as his all-round skills and reading of the game are very important to the team, and his absence will have a huge impact on both offense and defense.
Originally, Shanghai Harbor had a solid win against Shenzhen New Pengcheng, but now with two main players suspended, it's a bit hard to say who will win.
