Yunnan Yukun vs Shanghai Shenhua Prediction

The action unfolds at Yunnan’s home ground, where they’ll be hoping to extend their winning run. In this article, you’ll find China Super League Predictions and expert insights from XpertStats on what to expect when these two form teams collide.
- Yunnan Yukun are riding a 4-match home winning streak, scoring 2+ goals in each
- Shanghai Shenhua have won 4 straight and scored 12 goals in their last 5 matches
- BTTS has landed in 4 of the last 5 for both teams
- Shenhua could go 14 league matches without a draw with a win here
Let’s start with the hosts. Yunnan Yukun are quietly becoming a force at home. Four straight wins on their own turf, scoring at least twice in each? That’s no accident. Their 3-1 victory over Shenzhen P.C. showed just how sharp they are in front of goal. With an average of 1.75 goals scored and 1.25 conceded per game, their matches tend to deliver excitement: especially at home, where they’ve scored in every match but one this season. Still, their defense isn’t watertight. They’ve let one in during 6 of 8 home fixtures, and that could be a crack Shenhua exploit.
Form-wise, Yunnan have collected 7 points from their last 5 overall, which is solid but not stellar. They’ve been involved in some real goal-fests lately, four of their last five matches have seen both teams score. That trend, paired with their 88% Over 1.5 goals rate, screams entertainment. But here’s the rub: the gap in quality between Yukun and Shenhua is still obvious in the standings. Can home advantage level the playing field?
Shanghai Shenhua, meanwhile, are flying. Four wins on the bounce. Scoring at will. Twelve goals in their last five matches. They’re ruthless right now, especially on the road. With wins in 6 of their 9 away games and scoring in all but one, this team doesn’t flinch when traveling. Their average of 1.89 goals scored per match is one of the league’s best and they’ve been even hotter lately, averaging 2.75 over the last eight. Yukun’s defense? It’s going to be under siege.
Still, Shenhua haven’t drawn in 13 matches. That could signal confidence or volatility. But momentum counts, and Shenhua have it in spades. A win here would stretch their league streak to 5, keep the pressure on at the top, and end Yunnan’s home streak. It’s a high-stakes matchup, no doubt. Expect goals. Expect drama. But if you’re asking who has the edge, it’s hard to look past the China Super League Predictions pointing toward the visitors.
Shanghai Shenhua are simply in better form: winning four straight and scoring 12 goals in their last five games. Their attacking line is humming, averaging 2.75 goals per game in their most recent 8 matches. Yunnan Yukun, while impressive at home, have conceded in 6 of 8 home fixtures and won most of their games by slim margins. That shaky defense could be a problem against a side like Shenhua, who’ve scored in 8 straight league games and in all but one away match this season. Shenhua have also been stronger on the road, with six wins in nine away outings. If Shenhua win, it’ll be their third straight away victory, stretching their drawless run to 14. Yunnan’s home momentum is real, but up against Shenhua’s firepower and consistency, they might just fall short. Backing the visitors to win is a smart play with value on their side.
