A classic David versus Goliath contest awaits in the Chinese FA Cup as Shijiazhuang Gongfu welcome Shanghai Shenhua this Saturday. On paper, the visitors should have too much quality. Still, both clubs arrive under pressure. Shenhua are stuck in an unusual seven-match winless run, while the hosts have found the net just once in seven games.

Shijiazhuang Gongfu vs Shanghai Shenhua H2H stats

Shijiazhuang Gongfu

Shijiazhuang Gongfu team overview

Shijiazhuang Gongfu prepares for this one on the back of a grueling, low-scoring stretch in domestic competition. The Chinese League One promotion hopefuls have struggled to assert dominance on the pitch lately.

The Kung Fu Warriors have faced severe difficulties finding the back of the net, registering just one solitary goal across their last seven outings.

Jesús Tato’s men have notably lacked a clinical edge, resulting in a ten match winless run with six defeats and four draws.

Their home record at the Yutong International Sports Center is also under heavy scrutiny, as they endure a frustrating five-match winless streak with four defeats on familiar turf.

Main man and primary forward Tyrone Conraad carries the burden up front, but his scoring streak has dried up during this recent team-wide offensive drought.

To stand a chance at an upset, the coaching staff will need a flawless performance from experienced defender Shan Pengfei to hold off top-tier attackers.

Shanghai Shenhua

Shanghai Shenhua team overview

Shanghai Shenhua enters this one on the back of a highly frustrating, winless period in domestic competition.

The Chinese Super League powerhouse has unexpectedly struggled to seal victories over the past month, enduring a miserable seven-match winless streak that includes four costly defeats.

The Flower of Shanghai has uncharacteristically faltered at the back, shipping at least two goals in six of their last seven matches.

Leonid Slutsky’s men are also struggling on the road, most recently settling for a 2-2 draw away at Qingdao West Coast. They are currently enduring a three-match winless streak on the road after defeats at Shandong and Yunnan Yukun.

Main man and Brazilian forward Rafael Ratão has carried the offense with ten goals in fifteen games and should lead the line this weekend.

Prediction

Shanghai Shenhua have hit a rough patch lately, but the Chinese giants still look well equipped to end their winless run against lower-division opponents. Shijiazhuang Gongfu may fancy their chances of exposing Shenhua's shaky back line and grabbing a goal. Even so, the hosts have struggled badly in attack. That lack of cutting edge could prove costly, with Shenhua expected to take control in midfield and seal a 3-1 win.

Three reasons we expect over 2.5 goals in this game

  1. Shanghai Shenhua are without a clean sheet in seven matches.
  2. Shijiazhuang Gongfu failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last ten matches.
  3. Four of the last five away games of Shijiazhuang Gongfu produced 3+ goals.
