Beijing Guoan vs Shanghai Shenhua Prediction & Betting tips
For 15 years, the Chinese Super League exists and the sportive development is progressing rapidly. While the national team continues to seek in vain to join the international elite, the league has now reached a decent level. The reason is quite simple: There is an enormous amount of money available, which means that many stars from Europe or South America are in contract with the 16 teams in the Super League – although they can only compete on the pitch with a maximum of three foreigners. In the current season, it comes down to an exciting three-way battle between seven-time record champions Guangzhou Evergrande and reigning champions Shanghai SIPG and current leaders Beijing Guoan.
The last-named capital club welcomes the kickers of Shanghai Shenhua on Matchday 13. A match in which the roles are clearly divided: on the one hand, the hosts, who have won all five home games so far, and on the other side of the table penultimate, who has not triumphed away from home for five rounds of play. No wonder Beijing Guoan vs. Beijing. Shanghai Shenhua’s quotas turn out clearly in favor of the home side. The betting base agrees with this verdict and the Beijing Guoan against Shanghai Shenhua tip includes a home win with at least two goals lead.
Beijing Guoan:
The previous year’s fourth was able to keep his squad on the most important positions in the offensive compared to the last season. This concerns above all the goal-scoring trio, consisting of the Brazilian Renato Augusto, the Spaniard Joanthan Viera as well as the Congolese Cedric Bakambu. Together, they have scored more than half of all hits, for example, Bakambu completed only four missions and currently dwells in the national team of his country to prepare for the upcoming Africa Cup.
The cup winner of last year has also upgraded in defense. Among other things, Beijing won the British-Chinese defensive midfielder Nico Yennaris of Brentford from the championship or the young as well as highly talented South Korean defender Min-jae Kim from national champion Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC. The measures have paid off in the best way: with only six goals conceded after twelve rounds of play Beijing Guoan has the most stable defensive line in the Super League. The deficit in the defense from the previous year, when it still had the worst value of the top five teams, was thus turned off.
The club has also been able to concentrate completely on the Super League and the domestic Cup for several weeks, after it was enough in the AFC Champions League only to third place in their own group, whereby the Imperial Guards retired from the competition.
Shanghai Shenhua:
The seventh of the preseason is again very bad come from the starting blocks. The “flower of Shanghai” is currently receiving little tabular sun, as it is located deep in the table cellar. Specifically, the team of Spanish coach Quique Sánchez Flores, who has been in office since the end of last year and has previously worked for prestigious clubs such as Benfica or Atletico Madrid, is only penultimate. For eight rounds no victory was achieved and instead five bankruptcies and three draws recorded. To top it all, the most important player and king transfer of the season are missing. We’re talking about striker Odion Ighalo from Nigeria. The 29-year-old attacker came from league rivals Changchun Yatai and scored in his nine inserts no less than seven goals!
Although the striker is now recovering, this does not help Shanghai for now, as he is now in the Nigerian national team to participate in the Africa Cup in Egypt, as mentioned by Cedric Bakambu on the side of Beijing. On the offensive, therefore, the hopes are mainly on the shoulders of Colombian Giovanni Moreno. The 32-year-old denies no less than his eighth season in a row for Shanghai and after a lousy last season with only five goals, he is currently in much better mood again. This can be read on the respectable yield of four goals in eleven missions. Most recently, however, he was twice scoreless, so he would actually, at least from a statistical point of view, with a hit on the line. In his total of 165 league appearances the South American comes to 58 goals and thus needed for a goal just under three games.
