This match is one where every meeting has been a goal fest. In the latest game in May, Shandong Taishan thrashed Shanghai Shenhua 4-1, but before that, the home side had won 6-0 in July 2024 and won away 3-0 in March 2024. Shanghai Shenhua's last 5 matches clearly show they are a team that trades punches fiercely, winning 4-1 and 5-4 but also losing heavily 0-3 and 1-3. In this game, the home side plays at home where they have scored up to 6 goals against Shandong Taishan, and with an attacking form that has produced as many as 47 goals in 24 matches, they should be the ones to take the game to the opposition. The decisive period is likely to be the final stretch, minutes 76-90, as both teams concede the most goals in this period (Shanghai Shenhua concede 24% of all their goals, Shandong Taishan concede 28%).
