Shenzhen Peng City and Shanghai Port return to action in the Chinese Super League when they square off at the Shenzhen Stadium on Monday. Christian Lattanzio’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the visitors, having lost each of their previous three encounters.
Shenzhen Peng City were on the receiving end of a humbling 5-0 defeat against Chengdu Rongcheng in their league clash at the Wuliangye Sports Center Stadium last Wednesday.
Before that, Lattanzio’s side snapped their three-game winless run courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Shanghai Shenhua on June 14, four days before crashing down to earth in a 2-1 home loss against Wuhan Three Towns.
Shenzhen have picked up 14 points from their 15 Super League matches so far to sit 13th in the table, level on points with 12th-placed Henan FC Jiuzu Dukang.
