In the last game of the first half of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port defeated Meizhou Hakka away, overtook Shanghai Shenhua with 39 points, and led the Chinese Super League standings for the first time this season. After the halfway point, the situation in the Super League became clearer.

Chinese Super League halfway standings: Harbour beat Shenhua, 3 teams withdrew from the championship, and 8 teams fought for relegation

Before the start of the season, the media generally believed that five teams, Shenhua, Haigang, Rongcheng, Taishan and Guoan, would compete for the championship. However, due to various reasons, Rongcheng (29 points), Taishan (29 points), and Guoan (28 points) have fallen behind and have withdrawn from the championship group. Together with the Zhejiang team, which is in sixth place with 25 points, the competition for the AFC Champions League qualification zone will be fierce.

On the contrary, the two teams of Shenhua and Haigang led all the way, both unbeaten in 15 rounds, with Harbour leading with 39 points, and Shenhua, which had been leading in the first 14 rounds, ranked second with 37 points. Barring any surprises, the final winner will be between the two Shanghai teams.

There are as many as 8 relegation teams, Manatee and Cangzhou Lions are ranked 9th and 10th with 15 points, but they are only 5 points more than Nantong Zhiyun at the bottom, and only 2 points more than Meizhou Hakka, Changchun Yatai, Xinpeng City and West Coast ranked 12th to 15th.

Shenhua and Haigang are competing for the championship, 4 teams are competing for AFC Champions League tickets, and 8 teams are fighting for relegation, which makes Jinmen Tiger and Wuhan Three Towns the only two midstream teams.

According to the analysis of "Daily News", "the shrinkage of midstream teams this season shows that the competition in the Chinese Super League is more intense, and on the other hand, a considerable number of clubs are still in shape." ”
