Tianjin Jinmen Tiger take on the visitors Shanghai Port in the round 15 match of Chinese Super League. The match will be played on Friday, June 14th at Olympic Sports Center Stadium (Tianjin).
The Tigers were once national champions, but that was a long time ago—in 1983, in the Northern League. Their last significant trophy was the Chinese FA Cup in 2011. Since then, they haven’t had notable achievements. They finished 8th in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Currently, under Yu Genwei's management, they are showing a similar performance level. After 14 rounds, they have an equal number of wins and losses, with five each. Recently, they had a period where they alternated between away wins and home draws, but they ended the spring with a 1-3 loss to Qingdao Hainiu.

Shanghai Port aims to retain their title from last year. The Red Eagles replicated their major success from five years ago in 2023, winning the championship for the second time after their 2018 triumph. They also won the Chinese FA Cup in 2017 and 2021. The mastermind behind their recent success, Javier Pereira, left at the end of last year, handing over the reins to Kevin Muscat. Muscat has done a commendable job so far; the team has not suffered any losses in 2024 and has had only three draws. Since the beginning of May, they have maintained a perfect record, which has allowed them to keep pace with their city rivals, Shenhua, with whom they drew 1-1. Had their match against Meizhou Hakka not been postponed, they could have matched Shenhua in points—instead, they currently trail by three points.
Last year, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger managed a win, followed by a couple of draws. However, in August, the Red Eagles clinched a 2-1 victory on their home turf. The visitors are in excellent form. A bet on them with a handicap of -1 goal is recommended.
Prediction for the match: Shanghai Port to win with -1.0 handicap.
