Shanghai Shenhua's recent voyage to sustain a successive victory was met with a stumbling block as they succumbed to a resounding 2:1 defeat at the hands of Beijing Guoan FC on foreign terrain.

This setback follows their triumph on the road over Tsutomu Takahata's side, Wuhan Three Towns, where they snatched a 2:1 win, extending their winning streak to two matches after navigating through a three-game winless drought.

Amidst the hallowed confines of the iconic Shanghai Stadium, the Flower of Shanghai's form shines luminously, carving out an impressive ledger of six wins, three draws, and a mere couple of losses across eleven encounters.

Their current foothold positions them in the coveted third spot with 41 points, standing on par with Shandong Taishan in second, the only disparity arising from a modest goal differential. The looming specter of 4th-placed Beijing Guoan FC's potential rise amplifies the urgency for them to clinch a determined triumph, anchoring their stance within a fiercely contested fray.

Formation: 3-5-2

Chengdu Rongcheng FC, in a recent contest, found their creative spark dimmed as they faced Wuhan Three Towns, witnessing the collapse of their dominance over that adversary in a resounding 1:0 defeat on their home turf.

In a prior encounter against Changchun Yatai FC away from home, they found themselves a tad unlucky, missing out on a favorable outcome and succumbing to a 1:0 defeat. This thwarted their aspiration for a second consecutive league victory.

On the road, Michael's outfit has grappled with inconsistency, achieving only one win in their last five outings, a solitary triumph against Shandong Taishan (1-0), while succumbing to four losses. However, considering their overall performance in the last eleven matches, they've met the expected standards, though room for improvement remains. Their tally includes four wins, three draws, and four losses.

Presently, they secure the 7th position, boasting 36 points. They find themselves five points adrift from the second spot, currently occupied by Shandong Taishan in an AFC Champions League qualifier, while maintaining a two-point lead over 8th-placed Changchun Yatai FC.

Formation: 3-4-3

There have been three meetings between these two sides, with Chengdu Rongcheng FC flashing their dominance to run out victors in all three encounters.

Shanghai Shenhua knows that victory won't come gift-wrapped, despite anticipations running high, as they have the advantage of home turf at their disposal. They have been a bit misfortuned in this fixture, with their bout producing a trifecta of losses, and nothing but a win could be the only antidote to breathe life into their waning confidence.

However, the spotlight shines on slight underdogs Chengdu Rongcheng FC, who come into this match yearning for redemption, and given that history has taken a keen interest in them, painting them as victors in all their past three matches against Shanghai Shenhua, there's no doubt that will undeniably fuel them to snatch all three points on the road, putting an end to their two-match losing streak in the league.

In this clash, surrender won't be in either team's vocabulary; a battle of attrition is highly anticipated, and this could witness goals at both ends of the pitch—an outcome that is highly likely.
