Both teams have been battling for supremacy in the league this season, with their performances consistently high. However, this year is shaping up to be a unique one as both teams have made significant strides in recent seasons.
In the previous match, Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Shanghai Shenhua 1-0 in the quarter-finals. This victory was crucial for the club's survival in the league, but it also came after a series of setbacks throughout the season.
On the other hand, Shanghai Shenhua have been struggling in recent years, having failed to reach the semi-finals of the league in each of the last three seasons. However, they have shown signs of improvement over the past few months, with a strong start to the season that has seen them secure victories against some of the best teams in the country.
The two teams have had quite a bit of history to play before this clash. In the previous encounter, Guangzhou Evergrande defeated Shanghai Shenhua 2-0, which was a historic achievement for the club. The following year, however, they were unable to overcome the home advantage and lost out in the final.
