Shanghai Shenhua vs Tianjin Jinmen Tiger Prediction and Betting Tips

Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Jinmen Tiger will battle for three points in a Chinese Super League round 15 clash on Wednesday (June 25th). The game will be played at the Shanghai Stadium.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 away win over city rivals Shanghai Port in the Chinese FA Cup round-of-16 over the weekend. They went into the break in the lead thanks to Andre Luis' 45th-minute strike but Gabrielzinho equalized right at the start of the second half. Andre Luis completed his hat-trick in the second half, scoring either side of his compatriot Gustavo's strike in an all-Brazilian scoring affair.

The Blue Devils will shift their attention to the league, where their last game saw them fall to a 3-1 defeat away to Shenzhen Xinpencheng.

Jienmin, meanwhile, were eliminated from the cup following their 2-0 defeat away to Guangdong GA-Power. Ma Junliang and Joao Carlos scored in the second half to help their side advance to the quarterfinals.

The win saw them climb to fourth spot in the standings with 22 points from 14 games. Shenhua are joint-level with table-toppers Beijing Guoan on 32 points.
