The standout fixture on Matchday 9 in the Chinese Super League sees Shanghai Shenhua taking on Chengdu Rongcheng at Shanghai Stadium. The Blue Devils are in fifth place, while the Panda lead the league standings after eight games. Let’s get into the match prediction.
After being handed a 10-point deduction by the CFA, Shanghai Shenhua have come storming back up the table, now on 10 points and still unbeaten after the first eight games of the season (W6 D2).
The Flower of Shanghai eased past Henan Songshan Longmen last week 3-0, and are on a five-match win streak. They have now scored the second-most goals in the CSL this season (19).
The hosts have a perfect home record this term with five wins in five. Rafael Ratao is the joint-highest scorer in the top flight this season with seven goals to date.
Meanwhile, Chengdu Rongcheng have burst out the blocks this season and with 22 points in eight games, they have already opened up a four-point lead at the top of the CSL table.
The Panda beat Zhejiang Professional 4-0 last weekend and are now the top-scoring team in the league with 22 goals. Felipe de Sousa and Wellington Silva have netted six times apiece.
The visitors’ only dropped points this season came in a 3-3 draw on the road last month. Notably, each of the last three games between these sides at this venue ended in 1-1 draws.
