THE PREDICTION

This match is being hosted in Bangkok at Port’s home ground so it will be crucial for both, as the two top-two favourites, to get off to a good start before having to play, essentially, away from home against Port. Guangzhou come into this on the back of back-to-back 2-0 wins in the Chinese Super League that has been postponed since the early stages of May. They come up against a Cerezo Osaka side that ended a run of seven matches without a win by defeating Tottori in the Emperor’s Cup second round. Neither side will be necessarily expecting to either be sharp or in form so it is likely to be a tight and low-scoring encounter.
