Prediction for Shanghai SIPG – Shandong Luneng
Over 2.5 goals and both will score @ 2.05
Match of the fourth day of the Chinese league that will face in Shanghai to Shanghai East Asia and Shandong Luneng.
Shanghai SIPG
Both have begun almost optimally the league. Shanghai have won 2 of their 3 games, losing the only one against the Guangzhou, their direct rival to rise with the league. Shandong is a leader after starting stellarly winning both games.
The reason for the pick, among others, is the scoring ability of both teams influenced by the competition system of China. In this sense, the Shandong has scored 6 goals for the 9 of the Shanghai in these first parties.
As I say China’s competition system encourages certain teams to have a disproportionate scorecard: they are required to have only 3 foreigners on the pitch, so Chinese teams usually bet on very high forwards and strengthen certain Key positions. In this sense, the goal is paid and the most powerful teams have access to top scorers who finish the league scoring a barbarity of goals.
Shandong Luneng
In this sense, the Shanghai has probably the best attackers of the country with Oscar, Hulk and Elkeson; While Shandong, at a lower level, has Graziano Pellè and Papiss Cissé. Therefore, and exacerbated in this case, the front ones are of a much higher level than the attacks and even more when players like Pellè, Cissé, Hulk or Elkeson are very superior physically to the Chinese defenses that it has to defend to them. Thus Elkeson reaches 4 goals in 3 games, while Cissé has already scored 3.
For this reason, I consider that we will see a game of goals in which two of the best teams of the competition will exhibit their offensive capacity against defenses of a lower level. The good start of Shandong, who as a clear dog in this match, and the state of grace of their attackers push me to believe that the chances that we see more than 2.5 goals and that the Shandong score are over 50%. Luck.
