An evenly-matched encounter in the South
Shenzhen Peng FC have won just 1 of their last 5 games in all competitions, with 4 defeats—including a penalty shoot-out loss after a 2-2 away draw with Guangdong GZ-Power in their last 3 matches. They followed up a brave 3-1 home win over Shanghai Shenhua with a disappointing 1-2 home loss to Wuhan Three Towns in their most recent fixture.
Shanghai Port FC are in good form with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their previous 5 games in all tournaments. In the last 2 games, they have beaten Henan FC 3-1 away from home before losing 2-3 to their city rivals Shanghai Shenhua at home.
These two teams have a lot in common and a lot that sets them apart. Christian Lattanzio took over as Shenzhen Peng FC manager in October 2024 and has stuck to his pragmatic approach of compact structure, solid defence and counter-attacking. Kevin Muscat has implemented a more proactive, possession-based approach to Shanghai Port FC since taking over in January 2024, but the results have been consistently good, especially away from their home ground.
For more insight, our Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC preview will break down the key tactical aspects and form of both sides.
Expect an open game in the Pearl River Delta
Shenzhen Peng FC have scored 13 times in 7 home Super League 2025 games this season, which is a decent record given their defensive frailties.
Shanghai Port FC are the league’s most potent away team, with 17 goals from 6 matches.
Both teams have been involved in several high-scoring games recently and, with the bookies odds not reflecting the likely result, backing over 2.5 goals seems to be the way to go here. Additionally, looking at the Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC odds could provide extra value for punters considering the goal markets.
