LiontipsKawasaki vs Shanghai Port. Asian Champions League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
The home team, playing in the Japanese championship, is distinguished by its high scoring. In 34 matches, Kawasaki scored 56 goals, which allowed it to take 11th place in the tournament table. However, one of the main reasons for lagging behind the leaders is the unstable play in defense. During the entire championship, Kawasaki managed to keep its goal intact only six times.
The team leader is Shin Yamada, who is fourth in the list of top scorers this season with 15 goals. The team performance in the AFC Champions League has not been as successful. Of the three matches, it has lost two, won one, and the overall score is 1:3.
