Changchun Yatai vs Shanghai Shenhua. Will Shanghai Shenhua hold out in the title race?
On Saturday, July 22, the Changchun People Stadium will host a duel between Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Shenhua as part of the 18th round of the Chinese Super League.
Changchun Yatai is a team that has been the guarantor of high-scoring football for a long time, but in the last round they drew with Dalian Yifang, a team that continued its anomalous draw streak, sharing points for the sixth time in a row.
Changchun is a strong midfielder who should not be afraid of relegation, but the team does not have great prospects to rise to the top three if it does not add stability. Changchun are not able to win three games in a row, and without such a series it is difficult to overcome the 5-point gap from third place.
Shanghai Shenhua
Shanghai Shenhua is the only team that is able to compete with Shanghai Port for the championship this season. And although Shenhua very rarely loses, it is difficult for them to keep up in the race with Shanghai Port, since their principal rival practically does not lose points, which cannot be said about Shenhua.
Shanghai Shenhua is good in defense due to which they often win with a minimum score, but in attack this team cannot offer something amazing. Its top scorer is the Swiss Cefas Malele, who scored 6 goals, and besides him, only the experienced midfielder Yu Hanchao regularly scores with 5 goals scored. But the team has a balance in the game, which is not observed in Changchun Yatai, and due to the stability of Shenhua, she still continues to race for Shanghai Port.
