Guangzhou vs Changchun Yatai: Top Free Betting Tips

Guangzhou have been almost mistakeless since the restart of the season and seem like the slightly better team when it comes to the current form. Changchun Yatai finally stepped it up in their last two fixtures but do they have what it takes to win against Guangzhou as visitors?

Total Goals – Under 2.5

If there is anything certain in the Chinese Super League, it is that Guangzhou do not have goals in their games. This has been the team whose defense has been on an absolutely different level – they conceded just one goal in the six games to date. Moreover, the team is also not one to score loads of goals – they have not had over 2.5 goals in any of those six games either.

Fortunately, Changchun Yatai are also not a team to pick for over 2.5 bets although they had a couple of games with 3 goals recently. We believe that the importance of this game will force both teams to play more defensively, which will decrease the chances of seeing a lot of goals.

Match Result – Guangzhou

Changchun Yatai won two of their three recent away games but those were against the two weaker sides in the Championship Group. When they faced one of the better teams like Shandong Taishan, it showed that they have to improve certain aspects of their game. Guangzhou defeated Changchun Yatai away from home a couple of weeks ago with 0:2.

While Yatai were forced to play the final minutes with 10 players, this red card was not the reason they lost. Guangzhou were simply the better team on the field. Changchun also struggled in their last match against Shenzhen and although they won it, they had serious issues throughout the entire match. We believe that Guangzhou will win this fixture and secure their spot in the AFC Champions League.

Clean Sheet – Guangzhou

The odds here are absolutely fascinating – it is unbelievable given Guangzhou's recent performances and their absolutely brutal defense. Changchun Yatai will struggle to break this defense and unless there is a serious mistake or penalty, we do not expect to see a goal from them. Yes, this is a difficult market overall but we see this fixture as the perfect opportunity.
