LiontipsShenzhen Pen City vs Meizhou Hakka. Prediction and bets on the match of the Chinese championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Shenzhen Pen City won promotion to the Super League last season. In 2023, the hosts finished first in League One, eight points ahead of Qingdao West Coast. It was immediately obvious that the newcomer would face a tough fight for survival, and so it turned out.
The team didn't look so bad before, but in the last matches they completely fell apart. The club from Shenzhen suffered six defeats in a row and still risks falling into the relegation zone. After losing to the current champion, Shanghai Port (0:2), the team lost to another newcomer to the league, Qingdao West Coast (2:3), and in the last round they were routed at home by Shandong Taishan (1:4). It is good that in two of the three remaining matches they will have to meet clubs from the relegation zone.

Meizhou Hakka have spent the entire season among the outsiders, but still have a chance to escape relegation. Today, the visitors have a good chance of winning, given Shenzhen long losing streak.
However, the guests are not doing so well either. The club has lost its last three matches, but it is worth noting that the opponents were serious. Milan Ristic team lost to Cangzhou (1:2), Beijing Guoan (1:3) and Chengdu (0:2). The guests' last victory was on August 17, when they managed to beat Changchun Yatai (2:1).

2.30Tip and bets
Frankly speaking, I don't really believe in the hosts' victory. After all, their losing streak has been going on for quite some time now, while the visitors won not so long ago. Moreover, Meizhou Hakka has never lost to today opponent in three head-to-head matches. Most likely, Shenzhen will not be able to win against their direct competitor.
Our prediction is Meizhou Hakka not to lose at 1.80
Bet on total
We don't think this match will be productive. The teams are in the most decisive stage of the fight for survival, so any mistake can be very expensive. Most likely, the opponents will rely on defense, so as not to give the competitor an easy three points. Moreover, only one goal was scored in three face-to-face matches. It is unlikely that the clubs will score more in one meeting than in the entire history of this confrontation.
Forecast - total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.10
Yellow Card Betting
This match should be one of the main ones in the fight for a place in the league, so the fight on the field should be uncompromising. We believe that the referee will give the players at least four yellow cards.
Forecast - total over 3.5 yellow cards with odds of 1.75
