Hebei China Fortune hosts Shanghai Shenhua in round 17 of Chinese Super League. The match will be played on Friday, July 12th at Langfang City Sports Center (Langfang)
Hebei China Fortune missed a victory in the last match, being ahead 1-0 during the match. But the team managed to concede in the 94th minute and earned one instead of three points. Now Hebei China Fortune is in 13th place. 16 rounds are played, and this club lost in most of these matches - it’s a defense case because the team concedes a lot. Now Hebei is only 2 points above the relegation zone, and it needs at least a draw in order not to get there.

The problems in defense of Shanghai Shenhua are obvious: in each of the last two games, this club conceded 3 goals and naturally lost them. Now it is located above the relegation zone with only one-point margin. Of course, a victory is needed in the upcoming match, but considering that Shanghai Shenhua suffered 10 defeats in 16 rounds and conceded almost 30 goals, it will be extremely difficult to earn 3 points. However, Shanghai Shenhua scores more than a goal per game and is well able to score Hebei.
Please note that Hebei China Fortune scored and conceded at home about the same number of goals as Shanghai Shenhua did away. Both teams are weak in defense, but it is important to take into account that both clubs are strong in creating goal attempts, especially Shanghai Shenhua, which is in the top 5 of Chinese teams in terms of shots per game. That is Shanghai Shenhua delivers 13.8 shots per game. As practice shows, these clubs prefer to play open football with an abundance of goals. All five last matches were scoring, and both of them scored in each of the five. I think the ball will also fly into the nets of both teams in the upcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
