Shandong Luneng vs SHANGHAI SIPG Prediction: Stats, Tactics & Betting Tips

Welcome to our Shandong Luneng vs SHANGHAI SIPG prediction for the highly anticipated Chinese Super League encounter on October 26, 2.355. As both sides prepare to write another chapter in their storied rivalry, fans and punters alike are eager to see how this tactical battle will unfold at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center. This preview brings you a deep dive into team news, recent form, tactical insights, and, of course, our AI-powered betting tips for this crucial fixture.

Team Tactics and Recent Form: A Tale of Two Ambitious Sides

The Shandong Luneng vs SHANGHAI SIPG prediction is made all the more intriguing by the context of both teams’ seasons. Shandong Luneng, currently sitting fifth in the Super League, have shown resilience throughout the campaign. With 12 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, they boast a 46% win rate and average 1.89 goals per match. Their attacking line, recently revitalized under acting coach Han Peng, has been a bright spot—particularly with striker Baco and the Brazilian-born Crescencio finding their scoring boots.

On the other side, Shanghai Port (still widely recognized as SHANGHAI SIPG) are laser-focused on the title race. Under Kevin Muscat’s leadership, the team is known for its attacking flair and high-tempo football. Their recent results—such as a 4-3 win over Qingdao Jonoon and a 3-2 victory against Wuhan Three Towns—underscore their offensive strength, averaging 2.355 goals per game. However, this aggressive approach can leave them exposed at the back, setting the stage for a potentially high-scoring affair.

Key Tactical Points

  • Possession Battle: Expect SHANGHAI SIPG to control the ball (55% expected possession), while Shandong Luneng will look to strike on the break with 45% of the ball.
  • Shots & Corners: Both teams are projected to have 13 shots each, with an even split of 3 corners apiece—suggesting a dynamic, end-to-end contest.
  • Discipline: The match is expected to be relatively clean, with just one yellow card anticipated for the visitors.

Head to Head and Squad Value

  • Head to Head: In their last 26 meetings, Shandong Luneng and SHANGHAI SIPG have each claimed 9 wins, with 8 draws. Their direct encounters average 2.58 goals per match, making goals a recurring theme.
  • Previous Meeting: The last head to head on November 23, 2.354, saw SHANGHAI SIPG win 3-1 away, defying the odds set at 4.2 for Shandong and 1.65 for SIPG.
  • Squad Value: SHANGHAI SIPG’s squad is valued at €14.65m, ahead of Shandong Luneng’s €11.52m, reflecting their depth and quality.

Team News and Selection Issues

Injury news could play a role in shaping the outcome. SHANGHAI SIPG are set to miss star striker Wu Lei (knee injury), Zhen'ao Wang (cruciate ligament tear), and possibly Gustavo due to eligibility concerns. Coach Kevin Muscat has hinted at squad rotation to manage a congested fixture list, but remains confident in his team’s readiness.

For Shandong Luneng, coaching duties may still be split between Choi Kang-hee and Han Peng, with the latter credited for recent improvements in team morale and attacking output. No major injury concerns have been reported for the home side as of mid-October.
