Shanghai Port - Form Analysis: Determined to Maintain Their Status as the Best in China
The "Red Eagles" secured their second title in 2023, five years after their inaugural championship. They are keen to avoid another long wait, though they face strong competition from their local rivals, Shenhua. Despite losing to Shenhua in the Super Cup, which remains their only defeat in the current Super League season, Shanghai Port has had several draws, including a derby draw where they conceded late. This has hindered their progress in the current race. However, they secured a convincing victory against West Coast in the last round.
Chengdu Rongcheng - Form Analysis: Overcoming the Slump
The "Red and Blacks" are only in their third season in the Super League. In both previous seasons, they finished in the top five. This season started well with six wins in their first seven matches. However, a downturn occurred at the end of April and in May, with losses to Shandong at home and Beijing Guoan away, coupled with a 2-2 draw at home against Wuhan Three Towns. The team bounced back with a 4-2 victory over Henan and a 4-1 win against Meizhou.
