Shanghai Shenhua vs Chengdu Rongcheng Prediction: Another Feast Of Goals Predicted In This Fixture

Two teams that have recently put on impressive performances will square off. Who will win this match at the Jinzhou Stadium in search of three points?!

Shanghai Shenhua

Form: DDWLD

In a match where they were predicted to falter with 9 men down, they once again exhibited their unmatched class and skill on the ground when they held Changchun Yatai to a scoreless stalemate to share a point each.

Their position has not been affected as they still occupy 4th place in the league standings with 22 points. A move is now on for them to record a win against Chengdu Rongcheng and get the ball rolling as they look to occupy the third spot as they are only 4 points behind.

They have only played five games and have already collected six points, which is not enough. Despite this, they have not yet encountered any difficulties beyond their two-match losing streak that included two draws.

Chengdu Rongcheng

Form: DWWWW

A team that has been largely unnoticed for a while is now making headlines in the Super League as they thoroughly dominate every opponent they face. Shanghai Shenhua is the team on their list for their upcoming match, where they hope to flawlessly record a shocking victory.

Their 2-1 victory over Guangzhou FC on the road was a standout effort from them, eliminating any result that would have marred their already illustrious status. Regrettably, the one mistake they thought they had made in that game was failing to keep a clean sheet.

As they are currently enjoying a consecutive 5-match unbeaten run to highlight their dominant form, they have actually displayed more astonishingly outstanding results in the last five matches than the hosts' set of results.

It's somewhat unexpected that they are only holding down eighth place with 18 points despite having accrued 13 points in their last five games to account for their remarkable form. 

With the current state of affairs, they may even find a worthwhile opportunity to break through against Shanghai Shenhua and record a win on the spot to retain three points.
