Shanghai Port welcome Shandong Taishan at SAIC Motor Pudong Arena, Shanghai on Saturday, Aug 1 at 1:35 PM in a Super League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Shanghai Port come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Shandong Taishan, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
In 10 previous meetings, Shanghai Port lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Shanghai Port a slight edge, but Shandong Taishan are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
