Guangzhou Evergrande vs Guangzhou R&F Prediction & Betting tips
For the second time this season, the city duel between Evergrande and Guangzhou R&F takes place. But again on neutral ground, because the game will take place in Dalian. The first meeting was a clear matter in favor of the champions: Coach Fabio Cannavaro’s team prevailed with 5-0.
So it is hardly surprising that the Guangzhou Evergrande vs. Guangzhou R&F quotas are again clearly distributed to the advantage of the champion. The opponent seemed to have recovered after a completely unsuccessful start to the season, but recently there were two failures again.
For the match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Guangzhou R&F, the tip includes a favorite win without conceding a goal.
Guangzhou Evergrande:
Evergrande’s already well-staffed team has recently been able to fall back on another high-performing player on the offensive in the form of the Brazilian Fernandinho. The 27-year-old came from league rivals Hebei and immediately hit the ground. The attacker scored one goal on the last two match days.
Before that, he only had two short-term assignments. In view of his recent performances, the South American is pushing for the starting XI more and more. However, the competition in the team is very fierce, because the attack department has a number of reliable players.
Even the failure of Shihao Wei, the title holder’s best scorer with six goals in five league games, has not changed anything in terms of offensive strength. Evergrande has scored at least two goals in the past three league games without the top striker and most recently it was twice as many in the clear 4-1 win against Shanghai Shenhua.
Guangzhou R&F:
Coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst will have to do without his best goalgetter Eran Zahavi in the upcoming match. A failure that will soon not only be of a current nature. The Israeli international is very likely to leave the club.
Offers from Fenerbahce or clubs from the MLS such as newcomer Inter Miami are no longer just rumors. For Guangzhou, the departure of the striker would be a weakening that cannot be compensated for. Zahavi has been the sole entertainer on the offensive in the recent past: With a goal rate of over 80 percent in the last four years, this judgment is easy to make.
The upturn in the meantime with victories against Dalian Pro and Shanghai Shenhua was also largely due to his account: Zahavi scored three of the four goals in the two games he won. Without his goals, the offensive of the twelfth of the previous year comes again to a meager two goals in eight league games this season.
The problem on the defensive is no less severe: Otherwise, only the bottom of the table, Henan Jianye, conceded more than two goals per league game in the group. So far only a single clean sheet has been achieved and with Moussa Dembele an important defensive midfielder has to pass.
The Belgian was sent off in the recent 2-0 defeat by Shenzen, which is why the 33-year-old is doomed to watch.
