About Match
On paper the standings are lopsided — Chengdu Rongcheng 1st with 48 points, Shanghai Shenhua 9th with 25, 23 apart. Recent form tells a different story for Chengdu Rongcheng: only 11th in the league over the last five rounds despite sitting 1st. Victory would move Shanghai Shenhua to 28 points and up to 8th, with other results unchanged.
