Guangzhou R&F are sitting comfortably at the top of the Chinese Super League table, being the only undefeated team left in the competition so far. However, there are four clubs hot on their trail, and the next football games can easily change the landscape.
The influx of footballing talent from Europe greatly boosted the level of competition and will make football betting interesting. Each one of the top five clubs has a great shot at winning by season’s end, so which one will you bet online for?
WEEK 7 FRIDAY:
Guangzhou R&F vs Guizhou Zicheng
The game week begins with the current league leaders taking on the struggling Guizhou Zhicheng. The visitors are yet to win a league game this season and their next match has all the signs of a nightmarish game. To make matters worse, Guangzhou have the red-hot Eran Zehavi ready to score goals for his club.
WEEK 7 SATURDAY:
Liaoning Kaixin vs Beijing Guoan
This mid-table battle will be either an interesting or a boring watch for the curious neutral.
This game will likely feature poached Bundesliga talents such as Renato Soares, Robbie Kruse, Anthony Ujah and Assani Lukimya-Mulongoti. However, neither club has found consistent success so far. This game is a chance for them to start a winning run.
Yanbian Funde vs Changchun Yatai
Yanbian Funde are having a terrible start to their second season in the Chinese top flight: four of their first six games were defeats and the other two were low-scoring draws. Park Tae-ha needs to start making quick adjustments to turn the club’s fortunes around.
Meanwhile, Changchun Yatai won their first game of the season and will be looking to continue their winning ways.
Tianjin Quanjian vs Jiangsu Suning
This is another match that will feature familiar faces to the uninitiated.
Axel Witsel, Alexandre Pato, Ramires and Alex Teixeira are among the names that could possibly suit up for this game. These names alone could make the game a must-watch for the casual footballing fan.
However, I doubt that the result will be anything but a win for Quanjian. Witsel and Pato have been phenomenal for their new team, and I don’t think bottom-ranked Jiangsu could do anything to stop them. Betting on this game is easy: Tianjin Quanjian Draw No Bet rewards punters with 1.65.
Hebei CFFC vs Tianjin Teda
Hebei are thriving at the top half of the table thanks to the plethora of talent they acquired during the last transfer window. PSG’s Lavezzi and Juventus’ Anderson Hernanes are established stars in the Hebei rotation. They will be taking on a Tianjin Teda side that are also doing well under the leadership of ex-Chelsea player John Obi Mikel.
While Hebei did lose 3-0 to Shanghai SIPG, I think they’ll bounce back in this game. I believe this match will end in a draw, making Tianjin Teda +0.50 @ 1.95 a very attractive punt.
Henan Jianye vs Guangzhou Evergrande
Henan are another club that is struggling to win games early in the season. Goals are hard to come by for the third-bottom club. Jia Xiuquan’s squad won’t be getting any rest when Guangzhou Evergrande visit town. Evergrande have a plethora of attacking options that will make life difficult for Henan’s leaky defence. If they don’t find a way to score, they’ll be looking at the drop zone straight in the eye.
Punters interested in this game should bet on Guangzhou: a -1.00 handicap rewards 1.99.
WEEK 7 SUNDAY:
Chongqing Lifan vs Shanghai SIPG
The last match of the weekend is looking to end in another victory for Shanghai SIPG.
Don’t get me wrong; Chongqing Lifan are a strong team. Their 2-0 loss to Tianjin Teda is the only blemish on their season so far. They also have a number of Brazilians ready to grab points in the attack.
However, Shanghai SIPG have Hulk and Elkeson in front of goal. The addition of Oscar and Odil Ahmedov also boosted their midfield. It’s not hard to expect a resounding victory for Shanghai this time round.
