Shanghai Port vs Shandong Taishan Prediction 1 August 2026
🔊 Not long ago, this would have looked like a match between two title contenders. Things have changed. Both clubs have dropped points due to federation sanctions, and recent results have only added to the tension heading into this round. Shanghai Port come into the game off an important derby win, while Shandong Taishan are trying to pull themselves out of a prolonged slump.
Head-to-Head
The last official match between these two sides took place on 17 April 2026 and ended 1-1. Here's how the stats looked that day (Shandong Taishan were the home side):
- possession: 61% vs 39%;
- corners: 4 vs 1;
- fouls: 17 vs 13;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 6;
- shots on target: 5 vs 3.
📊 In the first leg of the current season, the two sides drew - the April 17 match ended 1-1. Between 2025 and 2026, they met three times: two draws and one win for Shandong Taishan. At home, though, the picture looks different. Shanghai Port have gone eight of their last nine home matches against this opponent without a defeat. That's one of the key factors going into this one.

Shandong Luneng Taishan Team Overview
The away side's last official match took place in the Super League (Shandong Taishan at home, Henan Jianye away). The match ended 1-2.
Match stats (Shandong Taishan vs Henan Jianye):
- possession: 62% vs 38%;
- corners: 3 vs 6;
- fouls: 11 vs 16;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
- shots on target: 8 vs 4.
The last few weeks haven't gone the way the visitors had hoped. Defeats to Dalian Zhixing and Henan have extended a run that's doing real damage to their league position.
The stats make the main problem pretty clear. Shandong Taishan have conceded in twelve matches in a row, giving up around 2.1 goals per game on average. Going forward they're still a threat, though. Krizan has 12 league goals already, and Valeri Kazaishvili remains one of the more productive players in the squad.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Shanghai Port come into this match in better shape. The hosts are solid at home, and the visitors have been making too many defensive errors lately. That said, the history between these two doesn't always produce open football.
One stat stands out. Total goals under 3.5 has landed in six of the last seven meetings between Shanghai Port and Shandong Taishan at Shanghai's ground. That run makes under 3.5 goals the most justified pick here.
