Guangzhou Evergrande vs Jiangsu Suning Prediction & Betting tips
In the second leg of the championship final between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning, the question of the Chinese champion will be clarified. Should the team of coach Fabio Cannavaro prevail, not only would the title be defended, but the ninth championship would be won in retrospect of the past ten seasons.
The first leg ended in a goalless draw, which is why the opponent is still promising in the race. For the decisive match to win the Chinese championship between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning, the prognosis includes a victory for the title holder. The match will take place again on neutral ground in Suzhou.
Guangzhou Evergrande:
The South China Tigers have only lost two games in this shortened season. A bankruptcy was conceded against Luneng last August and the further setback had to be accepted against the upcoming opponent last September. The balance shows that the two-time winner of the AFC Champions League was once again very dominant.
The team is also in the round of 16 of the domestic FA Cup, which means that the national double beckons. The previous path through the playoffs was also taken quite confidently. Two clear wins against Hebei and a draw as well as success in the second leg against Beijing Guoan paved the way to the final.
The semi-final win against Guoan in particular was an important step, because the kickers from the capital were also among the particularly hot candidates for winning the championship. Not without good reason, as the recent first leg for third place showed, in which Beijing beat Shanghai SIPG 2-1.
Last but not least, the performance from the first leg speaks for the reigning title holder. So the opponent was clearly controlled – only the exploitation of the scoring chances failed. However, this was an exception with regard to the previous season: No team in the regular season in Group A scored more goals from the champions.
An average of over two goals were achieved! Recently, Shihao Wei, an important striker, became available again in this part of the team. The Chinese scored no less than seven goals in nine appearances this season and with his comeback, the already strong offensive can be considered even more powerful.
In view of this, in the match between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning, the odds for at least two goals by the Cannavaro troops are additionally equipped with value.
Jiangsu Suning :
The kickers from Nanjing took fourth place last season. Winning the championship in the Super League has never worked out in the history of the club. The greatest achievement was reaching the runner-up championship four years ago. During the regular season, a second place in Group A was taken behind the upcoming opponent.
The team of Romanian coach Cosmin Olaraoui owed this successful performance first and foremost to Eder im Sturm. The Italian oldie was the best scorer in the club’s internal comparison and confirmed his very good performance from the past two years, when the 33-year-old always delivered double-digit goals at Suning.
Currently, however, the former Inter Milan player is stuck: Eder has not been able to use it for six league games. His downturn in performance explains why the playoffs were a tremendous game for Jiangsu: In the first round, Chongqing Lifan was only narrowly eliminated thanks to a 1-1 and 1-0 second leg.
The semi-final against Shanghai SIPG was even closer: it was 1-1 twice after 90 minutes of play, which is why the second leg against the footballers from the port city was extended a week ago. In this Suning then scored the decisive hit.
Before that, Fortuna had helped a lot: SIPG were denied two hits by the VAR. Abdugheni is still suspended in midfield due to a red card from the match.
