Shanghai SIPG – Can Shanghai consolidate 2nd spot?
As mentioned earlier, Shanghai SIPG sit in 2nd place in the Chinese Super League and hold a 3-point cushion over their Friday night’s opponents, Guangzhou Evergrande.
The hosts are just 2 points adrift of Super League leaders, Beijing Guoan though, so Shanghai will be pressing for all three points in this clash which could take them to the top of the division.
Shanghai SIPG have won their last 6 matches on the trot overall in the Chinese top flight, so they seem well placed to capture another three points here with winning momentum behind them.
The home side have also won 5 of their first 6 matches at their Shanghai Stadium to date and hold an impressive home record of 5-0-1 13/8 which includes winning their last 4 on the trot on home turf.
Recent wins against Wuhan Zall, Guangzhou R&F, Shandong Luneng and most impressive of all, league leaders, Beijing Guoan, will give them confidence of another win in this clash.
It won’t be an easy task though as Guangzhou Evergrande are also in form, while 5 of Shanghai SIPG’s 6 home matches have seen both teams score to date.
Guanzhou Evergrande Prediction – Can Guangzhou draw level with Shanghai?

However, with 3 wins on the trot under their belts in recent times, the visitors will be confident that they can take the spoils in this encounter and draw level on points with Shaghai.
Victories against Wuhan Zall, Shenzhen and Henan Jianye will have given Guangzhou a timely boost ahead of this crucial clash, on top of recent impressive wins on the road.
The visitors have gained wins on their travels at Chongqing Lifan, Wuhan Zall and Henan Jianye amidst an overall away record of 4-0-1 11/6.
They face an in-form Shanghai SIPG side here, and the goals market indicates that 3 of Guangzhou Evergrande’s 5 away matches have also seen both teams score.
