My Prediction
Shanghai Shenhua by 2Seems like we're in for a classic David vs Goliath scenario in the upcoming Shenzhen City vs Shanghai Shenhua showdown from the Chinese Super League. All the numbers are pointing towards a Shanghai domination, but hey, who am I to spoil the suspense?
No goalkeeper data is available for Shenzhen City. On the other hand, Shanghai Shenhua has Xue Qinghao as their goalie. With a rating of 7.50 and 3 saves, Qinghao is no brick wall, but he's not leaking goals either.
Shanghai Shenhua also runs deeper than a well-crafted novel, and their main draws are undoubtedly Xi Wu, Saulo Mineiro, and Chenjie Zhu. Saulo Mineiro and João Carlos Teixeira, both with 1 goal to their names, are the sharpshooters, while Xi Wu is the promising mid-field maestro with a neat 80.6% accurate pass rate.
On the Shenzhen side, well, unfortunately, we aren't blessed with the knowledge of their top players. Seems like they have joined a mysterious cult and gone incognito... or someone just misplaced their data, which is highly possible.
If history is any measure, Shanghai Shenhua seems to have Shenzhen City's number, with a draw and a victory from their past encounters… it's like a thrilling chess match of intriguing stalemates and one-sided victories.
Turn your gaze to the regular season, and the narrative is straight out of a fairy tale for Shanghai Shenhua, sitting pretty at a 10-2-1 record - impressive, isn't it? Shenzhen City, with their 3-2-7, seems to be living a nightmare not even Stephen King would dare to pen.
Peek into the teams' recent results, and the fairy tale continues for Shanghai Shenhua, racking up several high scoring victories. Shenzhen City, on the contrary, has a mixed bag of results with not so many high notes.
