Shanghai harbor
: In 22 rounds of matches, Seaport accumulated 37 points with 11 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, ranking fourth in the table. Since the restoration of the home and away system, Seaport has been playing solidly with only one loss in 10 rounds of matches, including 6 wins and 3 draws. In the last five rounds of matches, Seaport has won four. Despite a 0-1 home defeat against Guoan, which ended an unbeaten streak of four wins and one draw at the Dalian Sports Center, Seaport is expected to finish in the top three for the first time this season if it can beat Hakka. With Wu Lei out due to injury, Ndiaye and Lu Wenjun have been key to the scoring, with the former tied with the latter as the team's top scorer. Newcomer Vargas has not broken his goal drought, but contributed a hat-trick in the last round.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Leko said that the team is focusing on physical and tactical preparations after the break, and that Seaport will go all out in the face of a strong opponent and look forward to showing its strength on the field.
