Shanghai Port host Shandong Taishan in a CFA Super League clash. CheckLive favours the home side with a 61% win probability, backed by strong signal, but this is a competitive league fixture where a draw remains a real possibility.
Shanghai Port have been inconsistent of late: wins over Shanghai Shenhua (2-0), Sichuan Jiuniu (5-4, cup), and Henan Songshan Longmen (2-1), a draw with Yunnan Yukun (2-2), but a loss to Qingdao West Coast (1-2). Shandong Taishan have lost three of their last five — to Henan (1-2), Dalian Zhixing (1-3), and Beijing Guoan (0-2) — while winning cup tie against Wuhan Three Towns (6-5) and a league win over Yunnan Yukun (4-3).
The head-to-head record shows Shanghai Port with 3 wins, 4 draws, and only 1 loss from eight meetings. Their most recent encounter ended 1-1. With both sides prone to erratic results, the key is whether Shandong can tighten up defensively after conceding freely in recent matches.
