Matchday 26 in the Chinese Super League will kick off with Shanghai Shenhua taking on Meizhou Hakka at the Shanghai Stadium on Friday afternoon. The Flower of Shanghai and MZ Hakka are third and 16th in the league standings, respectively. Let’s get into the match prediction.
With five games left to play, the 2025 CSL title race is red hot, with just three points currently separating the top three teams in the league standings.
Shanghai Shenhua dropped a spot over the last few weeks, having only taken two points from their last three league games following a 1-1 draw against Chengdu Rongcheng last time out.
The hosts are also winless in their last three home games (D2 L1), which is a significant drop-off, as they had not suffered a league defeat at Shanghai Stadium prior to this run this season.
Meanwhile, after remaining in the top flight this season on a technicality, Meizhou Hakka are firmly in the relegation scrap again this term, currently bottom of the table with 17 points.
MZH conceded their 15th defeat of the league season last week, 2-1 at home to Qingdao, and they are now winless in four. They’ve only won one game in their last 17 across all competitions.
In 12 league away games this season, the visitors have only earned seven points (W1 D4 L7) and have failed to score in three of their last four outings.
