Our Shanghai Port FC vs Henan FC prediction is that the hosts continue their good run based on current form.
Shanghai Port FC have played 20 Super League 2025 matches to date and have accumulated 44 points, more than enough to be in contention for the title. They have won five of their ten home matches in the Super League 2025, with just three draws and two defeats.
Their form has been a little patchy at the Shanghai Stadium of late, with a win and a defeat in their last two home games, but their two most recent outings have seen Shanghai Port FC pick up impressive road wins over Changchun Yatai (3-1) and city rivals Shanghai Shenhua (2-1) in the Super League 2025.
Leonardo is their key man and is the leading striker in the Chinese topflight with 12 goals in 20 Super League 2025 appearances so far.
Henan FC hoping to steady the ship
Henan FC have had a difficult start to the Super League 2025 season and new boss Daniel Ramos has been unable to turn around the club’s fortunes since taking the reins in late April.
The Shanghai Port FC vs Henan FC preview suggests Henan FC are still searching for consistency as the away side have won two, drawn two and lost one of their five Super League 2025 games since Ramos took over, a return which hasn’t been good enough for Henan to climb out of 12th place.
Their three most recent results have been two home draws and a 4-1 thumping of Shenzhen Peng FC, but they lost their most recent away game at Shanghai Port FC.
