Jiangsu Suning vs Shanghai Shenhua Predictions

• Jiangsu Suning are unbeaten in 17 Super League matches at home.
• Jiangsu Suning won seven of their last nine league games on their own patch.
• Jiangsu Suning scored exactly two goals in each of their last two Super League outings.

Jiangsu’s momentum worth taking advantage of

Early front runners Jiangsu Suning continued their fine start to the new Chinese Super League campaign on Saturday with a 2-0 win at Guangzhou R&F in what was their third victory in four matches.

A brace from key Brazilian attacker Alex Texeira was enough to fire Cosmin Olăroiu’s side to glory, and with momentum behind them following their superb opening salvo, Suning looking favourites to put three more points on the board again this week.

Their opponents, Shanghai Shenhua, aren’t expected to give up those points without a fight however, and armed with a run of two wins and a draw in their last three, The Flower of Shanghai should prove a tricky adversary to overcome.

Nevertheless, a Jiangsu Suning team that are formidable on their own patch should be able to harness home advantage again here. Jiangsu are unbeaten in 17 Super League assignments on home soil in a run stretching back to July last year, and they are worth backing to win their eighth match in 10 games there at the prices quoted, while a 2-1 Suning triumph is worth considering for a correct score prediction.

Olăroiu’s charges scored exactly twice in each of their last two league contests and another brace should allow them to maintain their excellent start at Shenhua’s expense.
