Reigning Chinese Super League champions Shanghai Port look to mount a strong title defence in their opening game against Henan FC. The Red Eagles comfortably did the double over the Red Devils last season, but with their recent winless streak, can they emerge victorious once more? Let's get into this match prediction.
The league may have ended in November, but Shanghai have been in action over the past months. However, none of the five competitive games played since has resulted in a win. They lost one AFC Champions League Elite game and drew the remaining three. Then, in their latest game, the Red Eagles lost 2-0 to Beijing Guoan in the FA Super Cup.
Henan FC, meanwhile, lost the CFA Cup Final to the same Beijing Guoan in December. But prior to that was a streak of ten games with only one defeat for the Red Devils. Henan are still the underdog, but they enter this game with much fresher legs than Shanghai Port.
Whether those fresh legs can avoid a defeat, like the 4-1 thrashing they received in this stadium last time out, is a question of whether Henan can starve Shanghai’s brilliant offence. See key stats below.
