After the AFC Champions League elite home to Johor Bahru, attacking the weak state twice to tie the score, 2-2 let the fans dissatisfaction, summer window loaned Brazilian foreign aid Pope debut scored.
There are two points of interest in the match, one is whether Changchun Yatai manager Xie Hui, who has been at loggerheads with Seaport due to his drunken blunders back in the day, will have a big move to prove himself against his former hosts this time around. The second is that Harbor's form has been in shambles since the break, so will manager Muscat be able to turn things around?
Changchun Yatai has been suppressed by Harbor in the past two years, conceding 18 goals and scoring 3 in 5 consecutive losses. Seaport will have to rotate their lineup 4 days after this game, as they have a semi-final match with Shenhua in the AFC Cup. It is crucial to rotate the players, if there is any sharpness and vitality in the team, it may wake up the whole team. Dense fixtures in multiple fronts is a challenge, I believe Seaport can get through it.
