Shandong Taishan vs Daegu: Top Free Betting Tips

Shandong Taishan are the current champions in the strong Chinese league while Daegu are in rough form and their chances in Korea seem impossible even this early in the campaign.

Both Teams To Score – No

Shandong Taishan had an incredible season and deservedly became the champions. In 22 games last campaign in China, they conceded just 16 goals. In their AFC CL opener, they face Daegu who had good results last year but have been in terrible form right now and barely qualified for the tournament. We do not expect to see the visitors score in this fixture and the odds will be satisfactory once released.

Match Result – Shandong Taishan

At the moment of writing, the odds for this game have not yet been released but we know one thing for certain – Shandong Taishan will be the big favorite to win this match but we also expect the odds to be good enough for a single bet. Shandong won the strongest Asian league – the Chinese – and they have a massive budget when compared to Daegu. These two teams can literally not be compared in each way. The hosts are in a series of 20 games without a defeat too.

Alternative Corners – Under 11

Shandong Taishan and Daegu do not take a lot of corners in their matches overall although they have completely different play styles. It is obvious that we expect more from Shandong Taishan here and overall, we do not see Daegu taking more than 2-3 corners in this fixture. Shandong Taishan had less than 11 corners in 7/8 of their last games while Daegu had less than 11 in all their 6 most recent matches.

Daegu Preview

When compared, you can see the difference in worth of both squads – Shandong's squad is worth enarly 20 million euros while Daegu's squad is about 11 million. They have a solid young squad composed mainly of Koreans but they are far from the best teams in the Korean elite and will have serious difficulties in this fixture and the Champions League overall.
