Wuhan Three Towns vs Shenzhen tips and predictions

Wuhan Three Towns generous price to see off Shenzhen

On 62 Super League points, first placed Wuhan Three Towns host 13th placed Shenzhen. With 30 points the visitors are someway off their rivals.

The total goals expectation is quite high so this could be entertaining.

The home win probably hasn't lept out from the fixture list but backing the short priced favourites won't result in a Wolf Of Wall Street bank balance.

This Wuhan Three Towns team might have their backs to the wall in no time. However, the hosts have won 17 of their last 20 home games while the travelling side has been defeated in 11 of their last 17 matches, home or away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this. If Shenzhen fail to deliver it will go down as an epic upset but that chunky price looks generous.

Wuhan Three Towns are going to have to produce a level of football most people don't think they have in them. If the hosts are up for it, they'll have gained a lot confidence from their previous outings. These home players have enjoyed a purple patch on their own turf. They have scored three or more goals in 9 of their recent 11 home matches.

The visitors have underdelivered of late. They've been goalless in 7 of their last 11 matches. So the hosts are right to be confident if Shenzhen are going to stumble in front of goal.

In their last game Wuhan Three Towns crushed Meizhou Hakka, ultimately winning 3-0.

So the visitors are obviously legitimate favourites but they are just too short to back. Essentially football matches come down to which set of players maintains composure under pressure. There could be some evidence that the gap between the two sides isn't as significant as you think. Sometimes it just takes half a chance. Wuhan Three Towns to win has to be the value.

It's possible the game ends with at least one clean sheet because of the vehement favouritism for Shenzhen. If it ends up as expected then the BTTS No price could be a good way to extract some value.
