Wednesday's Chinese Super League predictions including Shanghai Port vs. Shanghai Shenhua

Shanghai Port vs. Sh. Shenhua (Wednesday, 8.30am)

The Shanghai derby headlines round seven of the 2022 Chinese Super League season as Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua face off at the Shanghai Stadium on Wednesday.

Both teams head into this one off the back of victories in their respective last outings and will be looking to pick up where they left off.

We say: Shanghai Port 2-1 Shanghai Shenhua

Shenhua head into clash still yet to lose this term and currently firing on all cylinders. However, the hosts have turned a corner in recent weeks, and we are backing them to hand their visitors a first defeat of the campaign.

Meizhou Hakka vs. Cangzhou (Wednesday, 10.00am)

Two sides who could definitely do with a victory square up at the Wuhua County Olympic Sports Centre on Wednesday, as Meizhou Hakka play host to Cangzhou Mighty Lions.

The teams are currently separated by one place and one point in the league table ahead of what should be an enthralling affair.

We say: Meizhou Hakka 1-0 Cangzhou Mighty Lions

Cangzhou have struggled in front of goal of late, and we can see that trend continuing here. That said, Meizhou have not been particularly great in attack either, but we fancy them to scrape a narrow win come the sound of the final whistle.

Shenzhen vs. Tianjin Jinmen (Wednesday, 10.30am)

Seeking to pick up a third successive victory for the first time since October 2017, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger visit the Meixian Tsang Hin-chi Stadium to face Shenzhen on Wednesday.

The Youth Army, meanwhile, head into the game winless in each of their last five home games against the visitors and will be looking to end this poor run.

We say: Shenzhen 1-1 Tianjin Jinmen Tiger

With just two points separating the sides in the league standings, we expect a cagey affair with little goalmouth action. The Tigers have been solid defensively in recent outings and we are backing them to hold out for a share of the spoils on Wednesday.

Changchun vs. Zhejiang (Wednesday, 12.30pm)

Zhejiang Professional will be looking to make it three wins from three for the first time this year when they visit the Wuyuan River Stadium to face Changchun Yatai on Wednesday.

The hosts, on the other hand, are unbeaten in each of their last five games against the Green Giants since 2016 and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Changchun Yatai 1-2 Zhejiang Professional

After stumbling into the new season, Zhejiang have hit their stride in recent weeks and head into Wednesday's game firing on all cylinders. While we expect Changchun Yatai to put up a fight, we are backing the visitors to come out on top in what we expect to be a cagey contest.
