Changchun Yatai vs Shanghai Port Prediction and Betting Tips | July 18th 2025

Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Port get round 17 of the Chinese Super League when they square off at the Changchun Stadium on Friday. Ricardo Soares’ men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the home side, having lost their previous seven meetings since August 2021.

Changchun Yatai were sent crashing back down to earth last time out when they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Shanghai Shenhua on home turf.

Before that, Soares’ side snapped their run of seven consecutive defeats on June 25 courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Qingdao West Coast.

Changchun Yatai have picked up just eight points from their 16 Super League matches so far to sit rock-bottom in the table, level on points with Qingdao Hainiu.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Port continued their surge to the top of the league standings as they fought back from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Shenzhen last time out.

Kevin Muscat’s men have gone seven back-to-back league games without defeat, picking up five wins and two draws since May’s 2-1 loss against Beijing Guoan.

With 34 points from 16 matches, Shanghai Port are currently fourth in the Super League table, four points behind first-placed Beijing Guoan.
