Shanghai Shenhua seems to be in a league of their own, only with Shanghai Port. The difference in consistency between these two teams and all the others that make up this Chinese super league has been “huge”. These two teams are the only ones that remain undefeated in the championship.

An impressive record for Slutskyi's team consisting of 12 wins and only 4 draws. In the last game, Shanghai Shenhua won (3-0) against Meizhou Hakka. Now, in this 17th round, Shanghai Shenhua knows that anything other than a win could allow Shanghai Port to extend their lead, since this team is playing at home and has a great chance of winning.
