Shanghai East Asia FC vs Shanghai Shenhua
Shanghai East Asia is still trying to rise to the top of the CSL standings ahead of match day 16. The opportunity comes this weekend when visited by Shanghai Shenhua. The kick off opened Saturday (6/7) at the Shanghai Stadium.
Shanghai East Asia successfully closed the campaign in June with positive results; they managed to keep an Oscar single goal at home to Shenzhen FC to take home the victory. The results of this visit also helped them to rank in the top 3 with a distance of just two points from the top.
On the enemy side, Shanghai Shenhua is still trying to forget the disappointment of being humiliated by 3 goals without reply by Guangzhou Evergrande. As a result of this disaster, they are also threatened to go down to the bottom of the standings by just two points from rank 12.
Early March, Shanghai Shenhua acted as host to host Shanghai East Asia. However, they were defeated by a score of 0-4 which was equipped with a Bai Jiajun red card. This defeat will be a very moral burden because it means they have lost 5 of the last 6 matches, now on aggregate 4-17.
The bad news, the away record this season is still far from satisfying with 2 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats. In fact, Shanghai East Asia has recorded only 2 times as the host, while the remaining 6 have been won.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.53
