Shanghai Port FC have been keeping their nose to the grindstone this season as they seek to defend their league title. At the halfway point of the point of the season, there's no denying they've done an exceptional job thus far, as they currently occupy first place with 42 points and have maintained a two-point cushion over second-placed Shanghai Shenhua.

The Red Eagles have yet to suffer defeat in their last 16 matches played, recording 13 wins and 3 draws. In their most recent match, they made the trip to Wuhan Sports Center Stadium to lock horns with Wuhan Three Towns and picked up maximum points in a comfortable 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Oscar and Matias Vargas. This marked their ninth consecutive win, and they will be aiming to extend their winning streak to ten matches, although it won't be an easy feat to achieve.

Zhejiang Professional, on the other hand, has commenced the season on a positive note, although they have yet to meet the expectations of their boisterous fans. Having finished in third place for two consecutive seasons, Zhejiang is about to miss out on a top-three finish this season. After 16 rounds, they sit sixth with 25 points accumulated and are seven points adrift of third-placed Chengdu Rongcheng FC.

The Green Giants made the trip to Bao'an Stadium to lock horns with Shenzhen Peng City FC, and despite the odds being in their favor for a comfortable win, they found themselves on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat. Jean Evrard Kouassi opened the scoring for his side in the 44th minute before Franko Andrijašević doubled the lead 21 minutes into the second half. However, a lack of concentration and a shaky defense saw them squander their two goals, leading them to concede three goals, ultimately leading to their demise. The Green Giants have won four of their last six matches in the league and have typified consistency.
