Match Preview
Shanghai Port will host Henan Songshan Longmen at the Shanghai Stadium on Friday, with both teams approaching the match with contrasting form. Shanghai Port comes into this fixture on a strong run, having won four of their last five matches, while Henan has struggled, managing just one win in their last five outings. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, Shanghai Port has dominated this fixture, winning half of the last ten encounters, with no draws recorded. Notably, eight of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have found the net in eight instances as well. Given the attacking prowess of Shanghai Port and Henan's defensive vulnerabilities, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.61 could be a worthwhile consideration. With the home advantage and the current form, Shanghai Port is heavily favoured to secure three points, but Henan's need for a turnaround might make this a more competitive match than the odds suggest.
