As you can see: first, with the streak continuing, Shanghai Port, who have won five times in a row, have basically locked up the league title this season, as the gap after that is too big. Shanghai Port can win the title 10 rounds ahead of schedule. Secondly, Shandong Taishan has too much momentum going forward, beating Meizhou Hakka 6-1 after beating Guoan by 3 goals in their last game. By the way, Taishan abused Meizhou Hakka in the previous FA Cup. Thirdly, Shanghai Shenhua's position doesn't seem to be guaranteed after consecutive losses, and the top three are expected to be unstable.
