Chengdu Rongcheng are in dominant form ahead of their Chinese Super League clash with Shanghai Port, boasting 11 wins and an unbeaten record from 12 matches. Their attacking power makes them strong favorites for a high-scoring win at home, especially against a Shanghai Port side winless in their last four and hit by injuries. Historically, Chengdu have a slight edge in the head-to-head record. The key conclusion is a predicted Chengdu win, with an emphasis on over 2.5 total match goals due to both teams’ attacking trends.

Chengdu Rongcheng vs Shanghai Port Predictions

Chengdu look like a solid bet to continue their superb CSL form against champions Shanghai Port on Tuesday. A home win is my first pick, while I also have a stake on a Rongcheng win with at least three goals scored. 

High-Scoring Home Win Likely 


  • Chengdu Rongcheng won 11 of their last 2 matches 
  • Chengdu Rongcheng have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 10 matches
  • Chengdu Rongcheng have scored an average of 3.3 goals per game in their last 6 home matches
  • Shanghai Port have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 matches against Chengdu Rongcheng
  • Shanghai Port have seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 6 matches
  • Shanghai Port have lost 3 of their last 5 away matches

Chengdu Rongcheng Edge Shanghai Port in All-Time H2H Record

Chengdu Rongcheng and Shanghai Port have met on ten previous occasions. Chengdu won five games, including all but one of their last six meetings, while Shanghai Port secured four victories. 

Chengdu Rongcheng Maintain Stunning Form

Chengdu Rongcheng continued their outstanding early-season CSL form with a hard-fought 2-1 win against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger last weekend. Wei Shihao’s brace secured an excellent comeback victory for John Aloisi’s in-form side.

The league leaders proved well-deserved winners, creating the better chances throughout the contest. Chengdu outshot Tianjin 12 to ten with xG of 1.80 compared to the hosts' 0.44. 

An outstanding start to the season has seen Rongcheng win 11 while remaining unbeaten from 12 league fixtures. The hosts have now won nine consecutive CSL matches, leaving them already 14 points clear at the top of the division. 

Usually a strong force at Shuangliu Sports Centre, Chengdu have won 17 of their previous 2 2 home CSL fixtures since the beginning of last season.

Frequently involved in high-scoring affairs, an average of 3.61 goals per game have been scored in their 13 most recent fixtures. Ten of those games finished with at least three goals scored. 

Shanghai Port Winless in Four

Shanghai Port come into Tuesday’s CSL encounter now winless in four matches after a frustrating 2-2 draw against Zhejiang last Friday. Yuan Zhang’s first goal of the season rescued a point for the Super League champions.

Kevin Muscat’s men were perhaps fortunate to claim a draw, with the visitors registering a final xG of 1.84. Shanghai finished with a 1.04 xG. 

An uncharacteristically slow start to the CSL season has seen Shanghai fail to win nine of their first 12 games of the season, including seven of their most recent fixtures (W1, D4, L3).

The out-of-form visitors have already lost five CSL games this season. They lost only four of 34 games in last year’s title-winning campaign. 

Like the hosts, high-scoring outcomes have been a recurring theme for the Red Eagles. An average of exactly three goals per game have been scored in their first 12 CSL contests.  

Predicted Lineups and Team News

Chengdu Rongcheng (4-5-1) Dianzuo Liu; He Yiran, Egor Sorokin, Han Pengfei, Hetao Hu; Lisheng Liao, Ming-Yang Yang, Wellington Silva, Romulo, Shihao Wei; Felipe Silva

Head coach John Aloisi could make a couple of changes to his side after last weekend’s victory against Tianjin. He Yiran and Han Pengfei are both tipped to keep their places after both made early appearances from the bench last time out. 

The CSL leaders have no reported injury worries. 

Shanghai Port (5-4-1) Junling Yan; Alex Yang, Zhen Wei, Tyias Browning, Umidjan Yusup, Zhenao Wang; Zhurun Liu, Yuan Zhang, Mateus Vital, Xinxiang Li; Leonardo

Port boss Muscat is unable to call on a handful of first-team players this week. Jiwen Kuai, Gabrielzinho, Jean Claude, Huan Fu, Shenchao Wang and Matt Orr miss out due to various injury problems.

Verdict

The in-form hosts should have enough momentum to maintain their winning form against an out-of-sorts Shanghai side. I have my stakes on Chengdu to win and a home victory with at least three match goals.
