Shandong Luneng vs Nantong Zhiyun: Top Free Betting Tips

On the back of consecutive away defeats, Shangdon Taishan returns home to play against Nantong Zhiyun on Friday, 21 April. Nantong Zhiyun also got the back of a defeat against Dalian Pro in the first round of the Chinese Super League.

Match Result Prediction: Shandong to Win

Though Shandong lost the previous two games in a row, they will be much more confident about the home advantage. Taishan Dui won the previous five consecutive matches at Jinan Olympic Sports Center in FA Cup and Chinese Super League. On the other hand, Nantong has tasted four successive away defeats before this game. The only H2H of these teams have also ended in the favour of Taishan Dui. Following the present situation, we set Shandong as our favourites to take three points in this game.

Both Teams to Score Prediction: No

Shandong doesn’t seem to get in any trouble on the scoring end following their winning streak at Jinan Olympic Sports Center. Nantong Zhiyun has also rattled the net in four of the last five matches but they have a difficult task in the upcoming fixture. Taishan Dui has featured a strong defence and claimed four clean sheets in the last five home games. Shandong was also able to restrict Nantong from scoring in only H2H. Hence, we don’t see this game displaying a BTTS pattern with only Taishan on the scoresheet.

Correct Score Prediction: 3-0 to Shandong Luneng

Nantong Zhiyun has conceded twice or more goals in each of the previous six league outings. Shandong has struggled on the scoring end in the last two games and couldn’t find the back of the net. However, Taishan scored at least three goals in all of the previous five games at Jinan Olympic Sports Center. Nantong has also leaked multiple goals in four consecutive fixtures away from Rugao Olympic Sports Center. Therefore, we can imagine Shandong earning a 3-0 lead at the end of the ninety minutes of this game.

Shandong Luneng Preview

Conceding a goal from Shanghai Shenhua’s Wu Xi in the 40th minute, Taishan lost the first round of the Chinese Super League by 1-0. Shandong also lost the Super Cup against Wuhan Three Towns prior to the start of the first tier. With a healthy roster, head coach Wei Hao will be committed to steering the team back to their winning form in the next game.

Nantong Zhiyun Preview

Nantong Zhiyun conceded a sixth consecutive defeat in the first round of the Chinese top-flight football against Dalian Pro. Yan Xiangchuang scored a quick brace within seven minutes of the game to help Dalian a 2-1 lead. Nantong’s preparation has also been less than ideal with Oumar Camara missing the game due to a sprained ankle.
