ACLE - Preview: Shanghai Port FC (CHN) v Cong An Ha Noi FC (VIE)

Shanghai: Maximum points will be Shanghai Port FC's target when they play Cong An Ha Noi FC in the AFC Champions League Elite 2026/2027™ on Tuesday.

China PR's Shanghai Port are enjoying a stellar start, having already accumulated four points while Vietnam's Ha Noi are on a two-match losing run.

China PR champions Shanghai Port will, however, head into the match winless in their last seven AFC Champions League Elite home games (D2 L5).

It is a harrowing run, considering that they had gone unbeaten in 23 matches prior to that (W14 D9). They have scored in just two of their last seven home games.

Debutants Ha Noi, however, have found the transition to the AFC Champions League Elite stage tough, with the Vietnamese side having suffered defeats against Kashima Antlers and Gamba Osaka.

Still, they will feel they have a chance as Shanghai Port have shown vulnerability at the back, having conceded five goals in their opening two matches.
