Shanghai Shenhua vs Shandong Luneng Predictions

• Shandong Luneng lost each of their last two CSL assignments.
• Shanghai Shenhua averaged 0.8 goals per 90 minutes across their last four fixtures.

Hosts to avoid defeat?

Shanghai Shenhua, without a win in their last four attempts, are still scratching for consistency in the opening throes of the new Chinese Super League season, though their unbeaten start on the road after four away assignments shows points towards a latent resilience in their ranks that they will hope to transfer to their home performances soon.

3^rd placed Shandong Luneng, just one place ahead of Shenhua in the Group A standings, were beaten 1-0 twice on the bounce ahead of their trip to Dalian, and having lost each of their last two encounters with the The Flower of Shanghai, they arrive as fragile visitors on Wednesday.

Having already beaten Shandong once (1-0) this season in Luneng on August 5^th , Shanghai Shenhua will back themselves to earn another positive result against the Taishan Dui in this week’s rematch, and with that considered alongside Shandong’s recent slump, they look excellent value in the double chance market this week, while our correct score prediction settles on a 1-1 draw.

Shenhua scored just once in their last three, while Luneng failed to register in either of their last two – and with those modest returns in the final third a telling factor, a single goal a piece looks about the upper limit of the teams’ capabilities on Wednesday.
