After 18 consecutive wins, Shanghai Port lost to the same opponent, but this time in the championship. The Red Eagles opened the scoring first, but due to an early dismissal, they were unable to maintain their advantage and lost 1:3.

Current form
Tianjin Tiger continues to be a mid-table team in the Chinese Super League. The team currently occupies sixth place in the table without much prospect of moving up. In the last five matches, they managed to win three times - against Qingdao West Coast (2:1), Zhejiang Professional (3:2) and Wuhan Free Towns (1:0). The matches with Beijing Guoan (0:2) and Meizhou Hakka (2:3) ended in defeats.
Getting to this stage of the cup was not easy for the visitors. First, they managed to beat the representative of the first league, Yunan Yukun, only in a penalty shootout, and then the confrontation with Changchun Yatai went to extra time. There, the Tigers won with an aggregate score of 4:3.

2.02Tip and bets
The hosts have almost no competitors at home this season and the team may well finally win the cup. Tianjin Tiger is unlikely to be able to compete with such a strong opponent, because Shanghai Port is much superior to the opponent in terms of composition and level of play. We believe that there will be no sensation here and the favorite will win a big victory.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on Shanghai Port for 1.83
Bet on total
The hosts have the strongest attack line in China, so it is foolish to build their game from defense. Surely the club from Shanghai will leave no chance for the opponent's defense and will score many goals.
The second bet is the individual total of Shanghai Port over three goals with a coefficient of 1.60
Bet on corners
We believe that the hosts will dominate the field throughout the match, which should result in an advantage in corner kicks.
Betting Tip - handicap (-5.5) on corners at Shanghai Port with odds of 1.96
