Changchun Yatai vs Shanghai Port Prediction
Changchun Yatai vs Shanghai Port Prediction and Betting Tips for Friday’s China Super League clash at the Changchun Stadium. The hosts look to halt a dominant head-to-head run by Shanghai Port, who enter Matchday 17 chasing top spot. In this preview, you’ll find insights, stats, and exclusive China Super League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Shanghai Port have scored in 16 consecutive matches across all competitions
- Changchun Yatai are bottom of the table with just 8 points from 16 games
- Shanghai Port have won the last 7 meetings against Changchun Yatai
- Over 2.5 goals has landed in 86% of Shanghai Port’s league matches
Changchun Yatai’s difficult campaign continued last weekend with a 2-1 home defeat against Shanghai Shenhua. Despite a rare win over Qingdao West Coast at the end of June, Soares’ side has claimed just eight points from 16 matches. With only 0.75 goals scored per match and a 50% over 2.5 goals ratio, the hosts have struggled both offensively and defensively. Their record at home is equally worrying, with just one win in their last nine outings in front of their own fans.
There are some glimmers of attacking intent from Yatai, who have scored in each of their last four matches and in three straight home games. BTTS has landed in 63% of their fixtures this season, and despite being bottom of the table, they’ve shown they can at least find the net. That said, containing a red-hot Shanghai Port outfit could prove too big an ask, especially given the historical trend between the two sides.
Shanghai Port come into Friday’s encounter in superb form. Kevin Muscat’s men are unbeaten in their last seven Super League games and have picked up 11 points from their last five. Averaging 2.71 goals per game and seeing over 2.5 goals in 86% of matches, Port are one of the league’s most entertaining sides. They’ve also scored in all 16 league games so far and boast an impressive away run, unbeaten in their last eight on the road.
History also favors Shanghai Port. They’ve beaten Changchun Yatai in each of their last seven meetings, scoring 24 goals and conceding just four in that span. BTTS has landed in 86% of their matches this season, further emphasizing the likelihood of a goal-rich fixture. With momentum, firepower, and form on their side, Shanghai are well-placed to extend their dominance over a struggling Changchun outfit.

Shanghai Port are in excellent form, unbeaten in their last seven China Super League matches with five wins and two draws. They’ve also been dominant against Changchun Yatai, winning each of their last seven head-to-head encounters while scoring a massive 24 goals in that span. Away from home, they remain unbeaten in their last eight, including six victories. Meanwhile, Changchun are bottom of the table with only eight points from 16 matches and have lost five of their last nine home games. Their confidence remains low despite a recent win over Qingdao West Coast. With the league’s second-best attack and a strong historical edge, Shanghai Port are rightly favorites here. Their superior goal-scoring form (2.71 per match) compared to Changchun’s (0.75) further highlights the gap in quality. Backing Shanghai Port to win looks a strong selection based on form, motivation, and head-to-head dominance.
This fixture has all the ingredients for a high-scoring affair. Shanghai Port are one of the most prolific sides in the Super League, averaging over 2.7 goals per game and seeing over 2.5 goals in 86% of their matches. They’ve also been involved in several matches where both teams have scored (13 of 16 games). Changchun Yatai, while struggling for results, have still managed to score in each of their last four matches and see BTTS in 63% of games. Their defense remains shaky, conceding at least once in all but one home match this season. Combine that with Port’s dominant attack and the fact that their last seven encounters have produced 28 goals total, and this one looks very likely to go over the 2.5 goal mark once again.
