As the season approaches its end, most of the teams in the Chinese Super League already know their approximate final positions but a few still have something to fight for. Shanghai Port, for instance, need more points to secure their place in the AFC Champions League next season and to do this, they have to win against Guangzhou City in the upcoming round.

Total Goals – Over 2.5
The previous match between these teams from two weeks ago ended with a 1:0 win for Guangzhou City, which wasn't surprising given that Shanghai have been outstanding at home and have the strongest defense in the league. Now, however, when Guangzhou will play free of pressure, we expect a more open game and more goals. Shanghai are one of the best teams traditionally and have scored quite a few goals this season, at least compared to most teams. Guangzhou have also had the second-highest number of goals in their matches out of the entire league. We should see an easy over 2.5 in this fixture.
Match Result – Shanghai Port
Shanghai Port are the better team overall but their away performances throughout the season have not been the best. The team had too many draws, which is the main reason they fell so far behind and lost the title. They have had 4 draws in 9 away games this season. On the other side, Guangzhou are the worst home team in the Championship Group with just 12 points won after 9 home games.
They also had a considerable number of draws and their home performances have been all over the place – sometimes they are incredible, others – surprisingly bad. We expect to see a difficult game for both sides with a lot of goals and a highly possible win for Shanghai, who will simply be the more motivated team.
Team Total Goals – Shanghai Port Over 1.5
Shanghai have not been the most incredible team in away games this season but they generally score a lot of goals. In 9 rounds to date, they have scored 17 goals which is almost 2 per game on average. Against one of the weaker teams and with the Champions League at stake, we expect them to show their best football and score at least two goals to win this fixture.
