Shanghai Port vs Changchun Yatai tips and predictions

Changchun Yatai in deep water?

Changchun Yatai can upset the odds here but it's really not a strong prediction. It is largely due to the short Shanghai Port price making them a major turn-off from a betting point of view.

The hosts are expected to breeze through this match but they are not a dead-cert. Shanghai Port can't be trusted in terms of value betting. They've lost 4 of their last 11 games at home. In the most part they've got away with it but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They conceded at least once in 18 of their last 20 home matches which lends some additional evidence supporting the upset.

Changchun Yatai have surprisingly won 2 of their last 4 away matches. Their decent results have been summarised by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored three or more goals in 4 of their last 18 away fixtures and if they're to get anything from this game their play-makers will have to put in a huge shift. In defence they have also posted some good numbers. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 7 away matches. While they are facing a massive task there is still some justification for an away win at the big price.

Looking beyond the undeniable favouritism for Shanghai Port it will be fun to see if Changchun Yatai can catch them cold. It isn't a strong view but the Yes BTTS bet is the nervous side bet.
