Dalian Inbo vs Shanghai Shenhua: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Dalian earned just 36 points last season, finishing in eleventh place. Now, they have broken into the group of leaders, although Chengdu still seems out of reach. On the other hand, after a 0-1 result against Tianjin in the last round, they now have an even record—seven wins and seven losses.
The team from Shanghai fought for the championship but ultimately lost the race for first place to their neighbors from SIPG by just two points, 64 to 66. However, this season, firstly, like many others, the club has been penalized—starting with a record "minus ten". Secondly, they rarely win and, in fact, haven’t managed to secure a victory since early May.
Li Guoxu’s squad, averaging just 1.4 goals scored per match, concedes even more—at 1.67 per game. The vice-champions have a more positive balance: scoring an average of 1.93 goals and conceding 1.6.
Head-to-head: Dalian Inbo vs Shanghai Shenhua
