Seeking to pick up a fifth consecutive away victory, Shanghai Shenhua take on Shandong Taishan at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium in round 16 of the Chinese Super League on Tuesday.
The Taishan Dui head into the midweek clash unbeaten in their last 11 outings in all competitions and will be looking to move level on points with first-placed Shanghai Port.
We say: Shandong Taishan 2-1 Shanghai Shenhua
Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Shenhua head into round 16 of the Super League as two of the most in-form sides in the division and we anticipate an action-packed contest on Tuesday. Choi's side have been near impenetrable at home this season and we fancy them picking up a narrow victory in front of their home supporters.

Chengdu Qianbao will need to return to winning ways to maintain pressure on the sides at the top of the CSL when they play host to Henan Songshan Longmen at the Leshan Olympic Sports Center Stadium on Tuesday.
Both sides come into this match following defeats in their last two league fixtures, with the hosts' most recent loss coming against Meizhou Hakka, while the visitors were beaten 1-0 by Shangdong Taishan.
We say: Chengdu Qianbao 2-1 Henan Songshan Longmen
Chengdu Rongcheng were unlucky in their last match, as the early dismissal of their goalkeeper evidently affected their game plan and the outcome of the match. With a full team and against a Henan side that have been very poor on the road this season, we fancy that the hosts will come out on top in this one.

Still yet to suffer defeat in the 2023 Chinese Super League season, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger visit the Cangzhou Stadium on Tuesday to face off against Cangzhou Mighty Lions.
Meanwhile, the home side head into the one aiming to return to winning ways having had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last outing.
We say: Cangzhou Mighty Lions 0-1 Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
In a game that sees two of the lowest-scoring sides in the top 10 go head-to-head, we are anticipating a tight affair with little goalmouth action at either end. That said, we are tipping the visitors to narrowly come out on top.
