On Monday, at 12:35, Tianjin Teda receives the visit of Shanghai SIPG, in the first stage of the new Chinese championship. The guests are favorites to win, in terms of higher budget, but Tianjin hopes for at least one goal scored in front of the white-red team.
Last season, Tianjin Teda finished 7th (goal average 43-45) with 41 points, 25 points behind Shanghai SIPG (goal average 62-26), which was 3rd in the top scorers of the two Johnathan (Tianjin) and Hulk (Shanghai) respectively stand out, and they could be decisive once again. The direct matches between the two teams are usually favorable for goal betting, and the “GG” selection is basic here.
This year, Tianjin Teda played only one match, in the friendly lost to Beijing Guoan, score 0-5. Shanghai SIPG had a match with Buriram, in the Asian Champions League, won 3-0. In general, all aspects lead us to think of a victory for the guests, but the goals are also a bet to watch. Shanghai is coached by Vítor Pereira and has a lot of players like Oscar or Hulk, who could be decisive. But Tianjin also has valuable “imports”, such as Johnathan, Frank Acheampong or the German Felix Bastians. It’s normal to bet on goals!
In 3 of the last 4 matches of Tianjin Teda has scored only one team, but 4 of the last 5 have had at least 3 successes;
Shanghai’s last three victories have been at least three goals behind;
In 4 of the last 5 direct duels both teams scored: 21 goals;
Shanghai SIPG has won 4 of the last 5 duels with Tianjin Teda;
PREDICTION: Shanghai SIPG to win @ 1,42
