21 games unbeaten, 14 consecutive victories, 72 goals scored and 18 goals conceded, and a goal difference of 54, surpassing the season goal tally of any other team! With 57 points on the league table, they are none other than Shanghai Port in the 2024 season. On the other hand, 20 games unbeaten (with the 20th round match taking place today), 49 goals scored, second only to Port, and an incredible 8 goals conceded. They may seem slightly less dominant, but they have been relentlessly chasing Port with just a two-point difference, all because of a single draw. This is Shanghai Shenhua in the 2024 season!

The reason why we dare to predict the winner of the 2024 Chinese Super League with 9 rounds remaining is because these two teams have already created a significant gap with the rest. Moreover, based on their previous matches against the top five teams on the league table, Chengdu Rongcheng lost to Port (0-2) and drew with Shenhua (1-1), Beijing Guoan drew with Shenhua (1-1) and drew with Port at home (2-2) but lost away (1-5), Shandong Taishan lost to Shenhua twice (0-3, 0-6) and lost to Port away (3-4). Rongcheng and the Shanghai powerhouses will face each other in the penultimate and third-to-last rounds, respectively. Even if they win, it's likely they won't be able to impact the title race. The 21st round will see Beijing Guoan host Shenhua and Shandong Taishan host Port, which presents the last challenge before the start of the AFC Champions League for the Shanghai powerhouses. If they cannot triumph in these matches, the domestic challengers will have to wait until after the AFC Champions League starts, and even then, they will have to seize the opportunity while the two teams compete on three fronts.

Another reason why we dare to predict the winner of the 2024 Chinese Super League with 9 rounds remaining is because within the Chinese Super League context, the Shanghai powerhouses have the most stable, and dare I say, superior living environment due to the sole operation by Shanghai Port Group and Jushi Group. Their unparalleled dominance this season has a lot to do with the business difficulties faced by traditional powerhouses Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan, which consequently led to their withdrawal from the top tier of Chinese football. The economic foundation determines the superstructure, and a stable living environment is sufficient to become the strongest competitive advantage, which is the main reason why the two teams' leading positions are difficult to shake.

The only variable that can influence both teams is the upcoming AFC Champions League. Of course, the extent to which it will have an impact depends on the specific pursuit and cost both teams are willing to incur for results in the AFC Champions League. Now, the biggest suspense regarding the 2024 Chinese Super League champions is whether it will be red or blue? On August 17th, there will be a match between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port in what could be the title-deciding battle.
