The Chinese football league has been dominated by Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai SIPG this season, as the two clubs have been performing well on both ends of the pitch. However, there are also three teams that are struggling for their survival in the relegation battle.

Shanghai Greenland Shenhua is currently at the bottom of the table, having lost all of their first nine games of the season. The team's struggles were compounded when they suffered a 5-1 defeat against Beijing Guoan in their last match. Despite their poor form, the club still have some talented players such as Wu Lei and Zhang Kun, who could potentially turn things around if given more support from the coaching staff.

Meanwhile, Shanghai SIPG have also struggled in recent weeks, losing four out of their last five matches. The team's defence has been particularly weak, conceding eight goals in their last six games. With only one win in their last seven matches, it seems unlikely that the club will be able to avoid relegation.

Another team in the relegation zone is Shanghai Emelec, who have already been relegated once before this season. The club has been inconsistent throughout the season, winning just one game in their last ten matches. Their performances have been hit and miss, with some standout performances and others where they have failed to perform up to expectations.

Despite their struggles, these three teams still have a chance of avoiding relegation, depending on how the rest of the season plays out. It remains to be seen whether any of them can turn things around and secure their place in the top flight next season.
