On August 12th, the Chinese Super League (CSL) will witness the Shanghai Derby this week, with Football News providing an analysis.
Football News indicates that the two teams currently occupy the top two spots in the league standings, with Shanghai SIPG leading with 63 points and Shanghai Shenhua trailing with 58 points. The 5-point gap between the two makes their head-to-head encounter a crucial 6-point battle, potentially influencing the outcome of the CSL championship this season.
Yang Zexiang received a yellow card in the previous round against Nantong Zhiyun, accumulating four yellow cards and missing the Shanghai Derby. Football News analyzes the situation:
Yang Zexiang’s suspension could have ripple effects. After Manafa suffered a fracture in the distal fibula, Yang Zexiang stepped in as the right-back. With his absence, Slutsky will have to choose another replacement.
