Shanghai Port vs Shanghai Shenhua: Top Free Betting Tips

Shanghai Port will host Shanghai Shenhua in a highly-anticipated Shanghai derby at the Shanghai Stadium on Saturday. This Round 4 Chinese Super League will be interesting as both sides are straddling the league's top positions and one of them will have to give way to the other.

Match Result Prediction: Shanghai Port to Win

Both Shanghai clubs have had a perfect start to their campaign, winning all three of their matches so far. It is Port who has been impressive at both ends of the pitch, scoring six goals and conceding just two. Their defence has been solid, and they have yet to concede a goal in their last outing against Cangzhou. On the other hand, Shanghai Shenhua have only scored three goals so far this season, and they have a tough task ahead of them against the league leaders. With their form and momentum, it is highly likely that Shanghai Port will come out on top in this match.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Considering the defensive records of both Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua this season, it is unlikely that the match will produce many goals. Port have conceded just two goals in three matches, while Shenhua are yet to concede. Furthermore, in their five H2H matches, only one game featured over 2.5 goals. With both sides preferring a cautious approach in the early stages of the season, it is possible that the match will result in a scoreline of under 2.5 goals.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Shanghai Port

Based on recent form, Shanghai Port appear to be the stronger side going into the match against Shanghai Shenhua. Both defences have been particularly impressive, especially Shenhua who have not conceded a goal but are yet to be tested against a team of Port's calibre. With Port's attacking prowess, solid defence and home advantage, it wouldn't be surprising to see them clinch a 2-0 victory over their city rivals.

Shanghai Port vs Shanghai Shenhua: Form, Recent Games, and News

Shanghai Port Preview

The Red Eagles have scored in the current campaign, making little work of reigning champions Wuhan Three Towns, Shenzen and Cangzhou Mighty Lions. The Lions were their latest victims, who were unable to come back into the game after Lei Wu sent the ahead with a goal at the stroke of half-time. They finished in fourth place last time around but after their strong start, Javier Pereira will have lofty ambitions in his mind.

Shanghai Shenhua Preview

While Shanghai Port were fighting at the top of the rankings table, crosstown rivals Shanghai Shenhua finished just outside the top half of the points table. They have started the current campaign strongly, keeping three clean sheets and triumphing in each of their three outings. Taming Port will not be an easy task but if their defence can hold up, they will surely fancy their chances in the Shanghai derby.
