Match Analysis] Shanghai Shenhua have reached the Premier League in the last five editions of the Premier League and have won three titles. Shenhua have won three Premier League trophies in each of their three editions, while the last two were lost to Guoan in 2004 and Guangzhou in 2018.
Shanghai SIPG has only participated in one Super Cup, and in 2019, at the Suzhou Olympic Stadium, Shanghai SIPG defeated Beijing Guoan 2-0 with Wang Shenchao and Lu Wenjun to complete their first season.
In the last 18 seasons, the Premier League teams that are widely considered to be the more likely to win the title have won a total of 10 trophies, but eight of the teams that won the FA Cup were won by Shenhua, so the Shanghai derby is still very much watched and followed.
