Shanghai Shenhua have been in excellent form this season. The hosts have won three of their last four competitive matches and a fourth may be on the cards when they meet Beijing Guoan this Saturday.
The Blues most recent match saw them beat Changchun Yatai 2-1 at home in the first round of the Chinese Super League. Saulo Mineiro and Andre Luis were both on target for the home team. This comes after dispatching Vissel Kobe in a 4-2 home victory in the AFC Champions League.
The Shanghai Stadium was their stronghold in the previous season. It appears this will be the case even in the current campaign. They come into this match unbeaten in their last 16 games (W13, D3).
Beijing Guoan
Beijing Guoan, on the other hand, had no trouble dispatching newly-promoted outfit in a 2-0 away win. This was thanks to second-half goals from Fabio Abreu and Cao Yongjing.
That victory, though, came at a cost. They lost defender Bai Yang who was shown red in the dying embers of the game meaning he won't take part in this match after he serves his two-match suspension. In that match, they saw 69% of ball possession. They registered nine shots at goal with five finding the target.
The Imperial Guards have now avoided defeat in their last five away matches in the Chinese Super League. It has to be pointed out that they are currently on a three-match winning streak with eight goals scored.

Expert Betting Tips
When we take a look at the head-to-head meetings between Shanghai Shenhua and Beijing Guoan we can see clearly that the visitors have the upper hand in this fixture. In the previous season they avoided defeat in their two league games (W1, D1).
The point I'm trying to get across here is that Beijing Guoan will make life difficult for Shanghai Shenhua in this matchup. This is why I'm avoiding the full-time market in this case.
However, I do see this matchup having plenty of goals. Over 2.5 goals have been the trend in each of their previous two encounters and I'm expecting the same trend to continue here. I won't be surprised if this match were to end in a draw.
Our main prediction for the match: Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.65 with Bet365.
2nd prediction: X for 3.92 with 1xbet.
3rd prediction: Anytime Goalscorer - Andre Luis for 2.19 with Betway.
