Champions League Betting Preview: Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs Shanghai Shenhua

Japanese J1 league side Sanfrecce Hiroshima host Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua, with kick-off set for 05:00 on Wednesday 10 December.

Shanghai Shenhua +1.5 look like great value on the Asian Handicap at -115 considering a one-goal loss for the outsiders would still result in a return. We are expecting the Tricolor to be competitive against Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
