Command Analysis

Shandong Taishan

Current form
Shandong Taishan finished fifth in the standings last season, and before that he regularly competed for medals. The hosts also competed in the Champions League, but unexpectedly withdrew from the competition in the last round due to their failure to attend the match with South Korean Ulsan. Before that, the team managed to beat another opponent from South Korea, Gwangju (3:0). The new season of the Chinese Super League did not start well for Kang-Hee Choi's players - the team played Henan on its own field, but achieved only a goalless draw, and also lost goalkeeper Wang Daley due to a red card.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wang Daley is serving his suspension.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last ten home matches.
- In the Chinese Super League, the hosts have not lost six matches in a row.
Approximate line-up: Qingyon Yu - Zheng, Gazal, Wang, Wu - Kazaishvili, Peng, Li, Si - Zeka, Krizan

Dalian Young Boy

Current form
Dalian finished last season in second place in the Chinese First League, five points ahead of the bankrupt Guangzhou. The team has managed to achieve promotion to the Super League and plans to avoid the struggle for survival. The guests were reinforced by good players - in the offseason, the top scorer of Shanhai Shenhua, Sefas Malele, as well as Zakaria Labyad from Yunnan, who beat Dalian in the last season of the First League, joined the club. On February 23, the guests played their first match at the highest level, drawing with Zhejiang Professional (1-1) in the first round.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Mamadou Traore on the pitch is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last four matches.
- In two of the last four matches, the guests failed to score
Approximate line-up: Sui - Lu, Jin, Song, Wen - Li, Alimi, Sun - Malele, Karanga, Labyad

This pattern has worked in three of the last five matches of the hosts.
1.80Tip and bets
The guests have seriously strengthened their performance in the Super League and clearly do not intend to be among the outsiders. Already in the first round, the team managed to take away points from the Champions League participant, so it will not be so easy for Shandong Taishan to win a landslide victory in the upcoming match. We believe that Dalian will be able to impose a fight in this match.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for Dalian in 1.64
Bet on the total
In the first round, both teams failed to perform well in attack. We think that the opponents will still need time to play out, so in the second match you should not expect any over-results, besides, the guests will definitely act cautiously against one of the leaders of the Super League. We don't think the team will score more than two goals.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals in 2.25 minutes.
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. It will obviously take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.50
