Match description
I predict an away win: Shanghai Shenhua holds an edge in form and finishing efficiency, therefore higher probability of victory. In the last 5 matches Shanghai won 4 and lost 1, scoring 11 goals, while Shandong over the same period has 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss with 6 goals. Shandong at home generates slightly more chances (avg xG 1.85 and 17.2 shots per match with 55% possession) but posts a lower conversion rate (9%) than Shanghai away (xG 1.51, conversion 14% and avg 2.0 goals per match). Both teams concede on average 1.0 goals per match, however Shanghai allows higher xG against (1.54 vs home side 1.06) and still limits goals conceded, which implies effective goalkeeping/defensive efficiency. Considering the visitors’ superior finishing and higher average points in the last 5 matches (2.4 vs 1.6), I assign 55% chance to Shanghai, 25% to a draw and 20% to a Shandong win.
