The Chinese Super League has already reached its 22 round and four teams at the bottom of the table are fighting dearly to stay in the top tier. Two of them will meet on Aug 24 at 11:00 at the Changchun Sports Center. The local Yatai are the last on the standings with just 12 points, while the visiting club is at 13th place just 2 points above the relegation zone.
Bad performances anyway one sees it
Changchun have the worst offense in the league having scored only 17 times. However, they are going against the worst defense that has conceded a massive 49. On the other side of the pitch, Shenzhen have scored 26 making them the 4th worse attacking line, facing the also 4th worse back line of Yatai that has conceded 36.
The visitors are counting a four-match losing streak, while the hosts have only managed to improve their position slightly in the last 5 with a win and draw vs three defeats. However, owing to the 5 wins and the 2 draws that they have managed, Shenzhen Peng have a 5-point margin to protect. Along with Meizhou and Hainiu, they form the four clubs with the worst performances after 21 rounds.
Strong incentives and a lot of pressure
The home side must win. Period. Doing so will get them at 15 points and at an equal footing with Qingdao Hainiu and just 2 points away from their opponents, and 1 from Meizhou. Hainiu face the runners-up Shenhua and they will probably lose that match so there’s a chance for Changchun. On the other hand if the visitors walk out with the 3 points, then they get to 20, above Henan and can look to the future a bit more relieved and in relative safety from relegation.
The hosts are afforded the home field advantage so the odds for the mare @2.31. Shenzhen are offered at @3.09 which shows a disbelief that they can make it this time. The draw gets @3.35. Based on the slightly better shape that Changdun Yatai appear to be lately, and the axiom that a bear is most dangerous when they are backed into a corner, we will propose to those that will open their own Game2bet account, a bet for their victory.
