Shanghai SIPG vs Tianjin Teda Prediction: The Visitors Likely To Rise To The Occasion When It Comes To Corners!

Shanghai SIPG and Tianjin Teda will face off at the Dalian Sports Center Stadium for their 15th matchday of the Super League after drawing their previous matches.

With eight points in their last five matches, both sides will be seeking to start up where they left off with a victory this time around, which may see them rise up the ranks in the Super League.

The hosts appear to be in for a wild ride in the Super League after failing to win their most recent match against Hangzhou Greentown, and given the rate at which they are moving, a drop in their position is highly likely.

A 1-1 tie was recorded against underdogs Hangzhou Greentown, whom they slandered by undermining, and a share of the spoils was what they received in the end.

Although the result wasn't necessarily what they had hoped for, given their performance, it was more than adequate for what they had expected, as they might have almost lost that game if Hangzhou hadn't been so unfocused.

A loss wouldn't have been the best option for them moving forward, which made a tie the safest outcome they could find. As a result, they are now one point behind Beijing Guoan and they currently sit in seventh place in the rankings with 21 points.

Refusing to give up easily despite trailing Shanghai Shenhua by one goal as the second half began, they managed to combine a fighting spirit to find the equalizer they were looking for in the 77th minute with thirteen minutes remaining.

A point was more than enough to keep them level in the Super League standings despite the fact that they had been dominant throughout the second half and were sharp in their attacking. It was unfortunate that they did not win the game.

The backline has been a bit shaky since then, and even though they had rediscovered their previous form in which they had gone three matches without a loss, they have now given up a goal in each of their last four games, adding up to a total of seven goals. Hence, it makes it a key factor where they definitely need improvement.

In their last five games, they have won twice, drawn twice, and lost once. This has allowed them to go three games without losing, and their form has been consistent enough to balance their record.

• Shanghai SIPG has failed to score in two of their last five home Super League matches.
• The average number of goals scored when these two teams meet is 5.4.
• Neither team has lost nor won in their most recent Super League match.
• In a match, Shanghai SIPG scores 4.5 goals against Tianjin Teda, while Tianjin Teda scores 0.8 goals against Shanghai SIPG (on average).

Tianjin Teda has won 0 times in the last 18 meetings; Shanghai SIPG has won 13 times; and there have been 5 draws, with a goal differential of 47-16 in favor of Shanghai SIPG.

Tianjin Teda have proven time and again that they can hold their own against formidable super league sides, and being labelled as underdogs has never stopped them from causing an upset.

The hosts in this case should be wary of Tianjin Teda's offensive play because it may pose a threat if they are to walk away with a positive result, and given how competitive the competition is now, now is not the time for them to lose focus.

This game is expected to be interesting, as both sides will be hungry to score, leaving their defensive lines vulnerable. Keeping a clean sheet will be the least of their concerns as they will both want to secure a victory.

• Tianjin Teda Corners - Over 2.5 for 1.61
• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.90
• Shanghai SIPG -1 for 1.98
