The Blues have been impressive this season and are currently one of the top contenders to dethrone Shanghai Port from their crown, notching 20 wins from their last 25 games.

After recording their first loss of the season, losing 2-1 against Beijing Guoan FC on the road on August 4th, Leonid Slutsky's men have since bounced back with a five-game winning streak, including Tuesday's important 4-1 win in their group stage opener against South Korea's Pohang Steelers in the AFC Champions League.

On the flip side, Tianjin Teda has been an average team with modest ambitions this season, as their goal is to finish at the top half of the table. This is something achievable considering they sit in sixth place in the table and are one mere point behind Shandong Taishan. 

Genwei Yu's men will be confident of securing a positive outcome here, considering they have performed similarly to their opponents in this impending in their last five matches, winning four and losing just once. Last weekend, they returned to winning ways, defeating Henan FC 1-0 at home following a morale-sapping 3-0 defeat at the hands of Shanghai Port FC in the Chinese FA Cup quarterfinals. 

• Shanghai Shenhua is currently on a five-match winning streak across all competitions.
• Tianjin Teda has yet to suffer defeat against Shanghai Shenhua in their last five encounters.
• Shanghai Shenhua averages 3.17 goals per game when playing at home, and Tianjin Teda averages 1.83 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 31 meetings, Shanghai Shenhua has won 11 times, Tianjin Teda has won 10 times, and there have been 10 draws.

Shanghai Shenhua enter this fixture high on confidence following a big win over the Pohang Steelers in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday. The Blues will want to build up on this momentum to extend their winning run in all competitions to six games.

While there's also no ruling out Tianjin Teda from causing an upset, we feel that they will be in for a difficult test at the Shanghai Stadium this time around. Therefore, support the home side in the half-time market to secure an early win.

• Half-time Result - Shanghai Shenhua for 1.80
• Highest Scoring Half - 2nd Half for 1.96
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.72
