Shenzhen FC vs Shanghai Shenhua Prediction: The Flower Of Shanghai To Walk Away With A Fourth Consecutive Victory

Shenzhen FC were forced to a 1-1 draw on the road against Guangzhou City in their most recent Super League match, and while they didn't appear to be a threat in attack, their defense came to their assistance to help them salvage a point after falling behind by a goal.

While there are apparent symptoms of fragility in their performance, their form has not significantly improved for the better at the moment, as they remain trapped in an inconsistent form and require a significant amount of work to eventually see an improvement.

A convincing performance will be required from them this time around to move them up to 12th place in the standings. They trail 14th placed Dalian Pro by a point, which is not enough to keep them there for long as they occupy 13th place with 20 points.

Following a minor derailment in their tracks, they have returned to track and are certain that there are no more loose joints at their end as they attempt to maintain their continental place in the Super League.

Their previous match against Henan Jianye resulted in a 1-0 victory, putting them five points ahead of fourth-placed Shanghai SIPG, who are vying for their position, which they currently hold in third place with 39 points, and will use all necessary means to consolidate their position.

Their form has been remarkable thus far, as they are unbeaten in their past five Super League matches, accumulating 13 points, and they are currently enjoying the delectable delights of a three-match winning run, which has provided them a morale-boost moving forward to register resounding triumphs.

Another impressive record worth highlighting is their home form, where they have only suffered one defeat, a 2-0 loss to Chengdu Rongcheng, and have subsequently gone on a four-match home unbeaten run with 10 points.

• Shanghai Shenhua has not lost in their last seven Super League games.
• Shenzhen FC has not lost to Shanghai Shenhua in their last three home games
• The average number of goals scored in matches between Shenzhen FC and Shanghai Shenhua is 1.8.
• When playing at home, Shenzhen FC scores 1.46 goals per game, whereas Shanghai Shenhua scores 1.18 goals per game when playing away.

Shenzhen FC has won twice in the last 14 games, Shanghai Shenhua has won nine times, and there have been three draws, with a goal difference of 23-9 in favor of Shanghai Shenhua.

Shenzhen FC still have a long way to go before they can be considered consistent in their play, but all they need is a little bit of faith to get them started in the Super League as they possess the determination to achieve more than they think they are capable of.

Shanghai Shenhua have the best record against Shenzhen FC, and we expect them to continue that tradition by registering another road win and extending their winning streak to four games against a team that has been erratic thus far.
