Prediction Shanghai Shenhua vs Shenzhen Peng City 2025 – Betting Tips for the Super League on 31/10/2025

Match snapshot and context

Shanghai Shenhua return to the familiar confines of Shanghai Stadium on October 31 with a clear statistical and psychological edge over Shenzhen Peng City. The Super League fixture at the 72,000-seater promises to be one-way traffic on paper: Shenhua sit third in the table with 58 points from 28 matches, boasting 63 goals scored and a strong home record, while Shenzhen occupy 12th with 26 points, a worrying 57 goals conceded and only eight wins all season. Bookmakers reflect this gulf — the home win is priced at a tiny 1.18, underlining the expectation that Shenhua will control this encounter.

Form, recent meetings and what the numbers say

Shanghai Shenhua arrive with confidence after a string of positive results, including an emphatic 6-1 victory and narrow wins away from home. Their recent sequence shows more wins than losses and a dangerous attacking profile: 501 total shots this season and an average of nearly 18 shots per match, coupled with 63 goals overall. Shenzhen’s recent form has been far more volatile; they exhibited resilience in a 2-1 victory over Wuhan Three Towns on October 24 and a prior scalp against Beijing Guoan, but those wins are punctuated by a run of losses, leaving them with only three wins in their last ten outings.

Head-to-head history this season contains a shock result — back in June, Shenzhen beat Shenhua 3-1 at home — which is a reminder that underdogs can strike. But context matters: that result came with Shenzhen as the home side, while this meeting is in Shanghai where Shenhua’s home goals total (38) and defensive solidity (19 conceded at home) paint them as heavy favorites.

The statistical profile nudges us toward an open, high-scoring affair. Both teams show strong season percentages for matches finishing over 2.5 goals — Shenhua’s over 2.5 percentage sits above 70% and Shenzhen similarly around 75% — and both sides have produced frequent BTTS occurrences during the campaign. Shenzhen’s porous away defensive record (33 goals conceded away) clashes with Shenhua’s firepower, making goals a likely commodity on matchday.

Before you place your wager, it’s smart to sharpen your approach and timing; consider reading about the right time to place bets on goal markets and how analysis tools can help identify genuine value: learn about some of the tools that can help with analysis.

Betting suggestion: Given the attacking numbers, the defensive frailties of Shenzhen away from home, and the high season percentages for over 2.5 goals on both sides, the best market here is the goal market. Recommendation: bet on Over 2.5 goals. Stake moderately — this market offers better value than the heavily backed Shanghai home win at 1.18.
