In a surprising turn of events in the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng defeated Shanghai Shenhua 3-1 at Shenzhen Stadium. Shanghai Shenhua, despite having 56.5% possession and more shots (17 total, 5 on target), couldn't convert their dominance into goals. Yudong Zhang opened the scoring for Shenzhen in the 36th minute, countered by André Luis's goal for Shanghai in the 28th minute. Yujie Zhang extended Shenzhen's lead in the 50th minute, and Rade Dugalic sealed the victory in stoppage time.
Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, playing in a 5-3-2 formation, capitalized on their limited opportunities, converting 4 of their 9 shots on target. Shanghai Shenhua, in a 4-3-1-2 formation, were wasteful in front of goal. The AI had predicted a Shanghai Shenhua win, with only a 24.9% chance of a Shenzhen victory, making this result a significant upset. Before the game, the AI model expected a balanced game.
This win marks a positive shift for Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, who have struggled for consistency, with recent results including a loss to Beijing Guoan (3-1) and a draw against Qingdao West Coast (0-0). Their next game is at home against Wuhan Three Towns, who have shown decent form recently, including a win against Qingdao Hainiu. Historically, Shenzhen has struggled against Wuhan Three Towns.
Shanghai Shenhua, who have been in good form recently with several wins, including a 3-0 victory over Dalian Yingbo and a 4-0 win against Qingdao West Coast, will need to regroup quickly. Their next match is at home against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. Despite Tianjin's mixed results lately, Shanghai Shenhua will be looking to return to winning ways to maintain their position in the league. Recent head-to-head games show Shanghai Shenhua having the edge.
The result indicates that Shenzhen Xinpengcheng can be dangerous at home, despite their overall form. Shanghai Shenhua needs to improve their finishing to avoid similar upsets in future matches. This game highlights the unpredictable nature of football, as the AI-powered prediction was proven wrong by Shenzhen's clinical performance.

On June 14, 2025, Shenzhen Xinpengcheng will face Shanghai Shenhua at Shenzhen Stadium in a Chinese Super League match. According to AI predictions, Shanghai Shenhua are the favorites to win, with a 52.9% probability compared to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's 24.9%. A draw is estimated at 22.2%. Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's recent form has been inconsistent, with two losses, two draws, and one win in their last five games. In contrast, Shanghai Shenhua have been dominant, securing four wins and one loss in their last five outings, with their attacking trio, featuring the prolific Brazilian striker, Matheus Dória, in stellar form. Matheus Dória has already netted 15 goals this season. Furthermore, the team has the support of experienced midfielder, Sun Kai, who dictates the tempo of the game. Historically, head-to-head matches have been closely contested, with Shanghai Shenhua edging a narrow victory in their last encounter in Shenzhen. However, the AI considers Shanghai Shenhua's superior team rate of 0.679 compared to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's 0.316, as a significant factor in their predicted victory.
