SEOUL (Interstat) — Shanghai Haigang FC hosts Seoul in a pivotal AFC Champions League World stage match on Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2025, with statistical projections pointing toward a high-scoring draw.

The matchup at Shanghai’s Pudong Football Stadium pits two clubs seeking consistency in continental play. Shanghai Haigang FC enters with momentum from a 1-0 domestic victory over Dalian Yingbo FC last Saturday. However, their recent form in the Champions League has been poor, including consecutive 2-0 losses to Buriram United and FC Machida Zelvia in their last two continental fixtures.

Seoul arrives after a scoreless draw with Cheng Rongcheng on Nov. 4. Their recent Champions League results have been a mixed bag, featuring a 3-0 win over Buriram Utd but also a 2-0 loss to Shanghai Shenhua FC in late October.

According to the Interstat game simulator, the teams are projected to split the points in a 2-2 draw. The result would leave both sides looking to improve their positioning in the group standings with crucial matches ahead.

Following this contest, Shanghai Haigang FC will travel to face Johor Darul Ta’zim FC on Dec. 9. Seoul’s next Champions League assignment is at home against Melbourne City FC on Dec. 10.
