Having finished as runners up in 2017 and 2021, Shanghai Port FC are headed to their first ever Chinese FA Cup triumph after defeating last season's champions Shanghai Shenhua 3-2 in the semi-finals on Wednesday, booking their place in the final where they'll get to square off with Shandong Taishan.  

Before this, they managed to avoid a shock defeat at the hands of Changchun Yatai FC to record a narrow 4-3 victory away from home, making it two wins on the bounce. They are two points clear at the top, and failure to secure maximum points could see them lose their position to a resilient Shanghai Shenhua.

Not so long ago, Qingdao West Coast was on a seven-game winless run in the league (L6, D1) before a sudden resurgence that has seen them lose just one of their last eight games (W4, D3). 

Jiayi Shao's men battled from two goals down to secure a hard-fought 3-2 win over Shenzhen Peng City FC at home, extending their winning run in the league to three matches while avoiding defeat in the last five games (W3, D2). They currently occupy 10th place with 28 points and have maintained a five-point cushion over the relegation zone. 

• Shanghai Port FC have won their last nine home matches in the Super League.
• Qingdao West Coast have kept just two clean sheets in their 16 games in the Super League.
• Shanghai Port FC averages 4 goals per game when playing at home, and Qingdao West Coast averages 1.17 goals per game when playing away.

This will be the second meeting between these two sides in the Chinese Super League. In the previous meeting, Shanghai Port FC came out on top with a commanding 5-3 victory away from home. 

Shanghai Port FC have been dominant in all but four of their fixtures this season and are likely to be in control here. Anything other than a commanding win for the home team will surely come as a surprise. As such, we anticipate supporting them in the full-time market combined with a total of 3.5 goals.

• W1 & TO 3.5 for 1.6
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.70
• Highest Scoring Half - 2nd Half for 1.83
