Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Shenzhen Peng City FC vs. Shanghai Shenhua, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Shenzhen Peng City FC

Form: DLLLD

Shenzhen Peng City FC have not had a dream debut in the top tier despite their dominance in the second tier last season, where they finished atop the table to gain promotion. After 13 rounds, Peng City occupy the 14th position with 10 points accumulated in the Chinese Super League and have maintained a one-point cushion over the drop zone.

In the last round, Jesús Rodríguez Tato's team was a bit wasteful with their chances at goal against Meizhou Hakka FC away from home. However, on the positive side of things, they did manage to secure a point in a goalless draw. This has extended their winless run in the league to eight matches (L5, D3), conceding a whopping 19 goals in the process. 

Shanghai Shenhua

Form: WWDWW

The Flower of Shanghai has been an unpredictable and volatile force this season, as they are en route to their first ever league title since 1961. After 13 rounds, Shanghai Shenhua holds the top spot in the Chinese Super League standings with 33 points accumulated. They have maintained a three-point cushion over second-placed Shanghai Port FC. 

In the last round, first-half goals from Xie Pengfei and Xi Wu were enough to see them secure a comfortable 2-1 victory over Henan FC away from home. This extended their winning run in the league to two matches, although it's worth noting they've yet to suffer defeat in their last 13 matches played (W10, D3).

Expert Betting Tips

Shenzhen Peng City FC will undeniably fancy their chances of causing an upset in this one as they aim to return to the winning column. However, their home form doesn't inspire much confidence, as they have yet to secure a win in their last six matches (L4, D2).

Shanghai Shenhua are the overwhelming favorites in this encounter to walk away with all three points, and looking at their form this season, there's no reason to be doubtful of such a statement. 

Therefore, support the away side in the full-time market combined with the total of over 2.5 goals, as this has been the case in three of their last five away matches where they've secured victory.
