Jiangsu Suning sit three places below their guests Shanghai SIPG in the CSL table heading into Saturday’s clash, but there are a massive eighteen points between the pair as the top three battle it out for the title and the rest chase fourth place. The hosts are without a win in their last three matches and will be looking to turn their form around this weekend. However, Shanghai SIPG arrive having won each of their last four matches and look full of confidence.

Jiangsu Suning visited the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium last weekend where their hosts Tianjin Teda lead 1-0 at the interval. Early in the second half, the home side doubled their advantage and despite Li Ang pulling a goal back for Jiangsu Suning in the sixty-fifth minute Tianjin Teda held on to secure a 2-1 victory. Shanghai SIPG had the home advantage against local rivals Shanghai Shenhua and went in at the break a goal to the good thanks to an effort from Hulk in the sixteenth minute. The Brazilian doubled his, and his teams, tally in the sixty-second minute and, despite the brief setback of an own goal from He Guan shortly after, Wang Shenchao wrapped up the points for Shanghai SIPG by scoring their third goal.

The recent head to head record between these two clubs and their form heading into Saturday’s game, all points towards a win for Shanghai SIPG and a good chance we will see under 2.5 goals scored.

Jiangsu Suning have only won one of their last six matches in all competitions, while Shanghai SIPG have won their last four matches and are unbeaten in their last five in league and cup. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in three of Jiangsu Suning’s and four of Shanghai SIPG’s last six matches, which is why we’re backing a 2-0 win for the visitors this weekend.
