Peng FC have been consistently inconsistent on their home ground
Shenzhen’s Super Leaguers have been in indifferent form recently, winning just one and losing four of their five most recent matches.
The most recent three fixtures have seen a gutsy 2-2 away draw against Guangdong GZ-Power, a bold 3-1 home victory against Shanghai Shenhua and a tight 1-2 home defeat to Wuhan Three Towns.
Peng FC’s manager, Christian Lattanzio, appointed in October 2024, has continued to set up his side in a pragmatic, defence-first style that relies on a compact formation to defend solidly and use the wingers and full-backs to counter-attack at pace.
Edu Garcia has been their main outlet in the front third this Super Leagu campaign, netting three times in 11 appearances. However, Garcia and his teammates will face a tough test against the visitors on Monday, as our Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC prediction suggests a challenging scenario for the home side.
Port FC’s form is much more positive
Shanghai Port FC sits 4th in the Super League 2025 with 28 points from 14 games, doubling Shenzhen Peng FC's 14-point haul at 13th place.
For those interested in a detailed Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC preview, it is clear that Shanghai Port FC have been very consistent away from home recently, remaining undefeated on the road in the Super League 2025 and, under Kevin Muscat since January 2024, playing an attacking style of football based on possession, midfield fluidity, fast transitions and high-pressing.
Leonardo, the Brazilian striker who leads the line for Shanghai Port FC, has been in prolific form in front of goal this season, netting eight times in 14 Super League matches and will be a constant threat to the home team’s defence.
Port to edge a tight encounter
The Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC odds make Shanghai Port FC slight favourites for this game at 2.25, with Shenzhen Peng FC available at 2.75 and the draw at 3.90. The home side have been inconsistent and the away side have been excellent on their travels this season, so we will side with Port FC to take all three points.
However, Shenzhen Peng FC have scored 13 times in seven home fixtures in the current Super League 2025 campaign, a decent rate considering their leaky defence. With Shanghai Port FC’s attacking prowess and Shenzhen’s tendency to hit on the counter, our Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC prediction is that over 2.5 goals looks a better option than the away win. Shenzhen Peng FC have lost their last 3 encounters against Port FC, including a 3-1 loss at home 4 months ago, so there is a psychological advantage for the visitors in this clash. The Shenzhen Peng FC vs Shanghai Port FC betting tips point towards a chess match with Peng looking to frustrate and hit on the break and Shanghai Port FC looking to control possession and dictate the tempo.
