The game starts at 7:35 p.m. UTC+8. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Hangzhou is dangerously close to relegation with six games remaining in their season's campaign as the team is currently at the 14th spot of the league table, only six points above the bottom two area presently occupied by Changchun Yatai and Shijiazhuang Ever Bright.
The Green Giants had been winless in three of their last four assignments and things are looking bleak for head coach Hong Myung-bo's side as they face the top teams in their remaining matches.
Hangzhou is coming off a 0-2 loss to lowly club Liaoning Whowin at the Tiexi New District Sports Center last Saturday for their second straight winless match, as per the South China Morning Post.
Liaoning imports James Chamanga and Anthony Ujah netted the goals for the hosts at the 48th and 77th minutes as Hangzhou was unable to put themselves on the board during the match.
Meanwhile, Shanghai SIPG is also losing confidence after getting eliminated in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League this week.
Their last game in the domestic competitions was a 2-2 draw with Beijing Guoan at their home field of Shanghai Stadium last Friday, via Xinhuanet.
It was a goalless first half affair for both clubs until Brazilian winger Hulk broke the deadlock at the 51st minute for head coach Sven-Göran Eriksson's side.
However, Beijing netted the next two goals, courtesy of Burak Yilmaz and Lei Tenglong at the 68th and 82nd minutes, to move ahead by a point.
Hulk then scored his second of the game right at the stroke of full time to salvage the draw for the Red Eagles.
Prediction and Predicted Lineup
The predicted result is a 2-0 romp for Shanghai SIPG.
Hangzhou Greentown starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Zou; Oh, Zhao, Chen X., Sun; Chen P., Chen Z., Huang, Sammir; Gabionetta, Ramon
Shanghai SIPG starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Yan; Fu, Kim, Shi, Sun; Cai, Wang; Kouassi, Wu, Elkeson; Hulk
