Shanghai Port vs Shenzhen Bogang Prediction 21 July 2026
🏆 Shanghai Port are still in the hunt for their second ever China FA Cup. In the Round of 16, they take on Shenzhen Peng City. Both sides have been shaky at the back, conceding regularly even against modest opposition - and their scoring numbers aren't low either. Given that, a tight, defensive match seems unlikely.

Shanghai SIPG Team Overview
Shanghai Port's last official match was played in the Super League, drawing 2-2 away at Yunnan Yukun. Here are the stats from that game (Shanghai Port vs Yunnan Yukun):
- possession: 61% vs 39%;
- corners: 6 vs 6;
- fouls: 9 vs 16;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 2;
- shots on target: 6 vs 3.
Shanghai Port have looked noticeably shaky at the back - both the recent results and the numbers over their last ten matches back that up. Three wins, two defeats, five draws. Not exactly a consistent run.
Over that same stretch they've averaged 1.6 goals scored and 1.5 conceded per game. The attack delivers often enough, but the defence leaks at almost the same rate. Conceding has been a near-constant across their matches, which makes a high-scoring game more likely - especially against a side with similar problems. That was even the case in the previous cup round against Shanghai Shendy from the Second Division, where they scraped through 2-1.

Shenzhen Bogang Team Overview
Shenzhen Peng City's last official match was in the Super League, a 0:2 away defeat to Wuhan Three Towns. Here are the stats from that game (Shenzhen Peng City vs Wuhan Three Towns):
- possession: 33% vs 67%;
- corners: 4 vs 11;
- fouls: 8 vs 15;
- yellow cards: 0 vs 1;
- shots on target: 1 vs 13.
Shenzhen Peng City arrive at this match in mixed form: four wins and five defeats in their last ten games, with one draw. Going forward, they've been consistent - averaging 1.5 goals per match, which means they can create chances even against sides in the top half. Defensively, though, they remain vulnerable, conceding 1.6 goals per game on average.
That combination of attacking output and shaky defending makes them dangerous but also prone to open matches. In the previous round against Shenzhen Juniors (3-1), the first half was decisive - the current visitors scored three times before the break and effectively settled the tie.
