Bitesize Prediction: Shanghai Port vs Yunnan Yukun – 12/09/25

Competition: Chinese Super League

Market: Shanghai Port to score in both halves

Odds: 4/6 @ BetUS

Knowing that they can climb to the top of the Super League table on Friday morning, Shanghai Port will welcome Yunnan Yukun to the Pudong Football Stadium.

Starting with the hosts, heading into September’s fortnight interval with a woeful 4-1 drumming away at Chengdu Rongcheng, Shanghai Port know the importance of claiming an immediate response. Looking to reclaim their spot at the top of the Super League table, Kevin Muscat’s men are pencilled in as a standout contender to defend their domestic crown this year. In fact, the Red Dragons have suffered just a single Super League defeat from any of their previous 14 consecutive appearances – a run that stems all the way back to May 1st. Although the Chinese heavyweights might have shown some extended defensive issues this season, they will be smelling a real opportunity this weekend and are rightfully installed as a landslide contender here. It should also be highlighted, Shanghai clinched an action-packed 3-2 win when they last met Friday’s guests back on April 25th, the defending Super League champions will be looking to make a statement.

As for the visitors, although Yunnan Yukun might have gained a string of plaudits after making their Super League return this season, John Andersen’s side struggled to find any real stability prior to September’s fortnight break. Watching their FA Cup adventure come to a thumping end on August 20th as they fell to a 7-0 drumming away at Beijing Guoan, the former Hong Kong boss has seen his squad muster just a single win from any of their previous six appearances across all competitions. With their recent struggles underlined by a 5-1 defeat at home against Chengdu Rongcheng on August 23rd, it is no secret that Yunnan have shown some real defensive issues. Including another woeful 5-1 loss at the hands of Qingdao Hainiu last month, Friday’s guests will be bracing themselves for another heavyweight challenge here. It’s also worth noting, Andersen’s side have lost their last four straight appearances on the road by an aggregate score of 17-3.
