Command Analysis
Shandong Taishan
ChinaCurrent form
The Chinese club Shandong Taishan can't seem to achieve a triumph in the Champions League. Apparently, there is some kind of curse, because they have managed to reach the quarterfinals four times. This was the case last season. They were not allowed into the semifinals by their upcoming opponent, who won two matches with a score of 2:1 and 1:0.
South Korean coach Choi Kang Hee has been at the helm of the team for a year and a half. He has instilled in his players an open style of play, which has paid off. The team has not lost four matches in a row at home. One of the matches was a game in the Champions League with Central Coast Mariners. In that match, they managed to please their fans with a confident victory with a score of 3:1. Of course, the football players will try to win no less confidently this time.

In the first match, there was a super-scoring crushing defeat from Gwangju with a score of 3:7, but in the second match, the club destroyed Ulsan on its home field, winning the match with a score of 4:0.

1.76Tip and bets
Last season of the Asian Champions League, the rivals played four head-to-head matches. What is noteworthy is that the Japanese were stronger in each match, and the overall score of all matches was 7:1. It is not surprising that Yokohama is considered the favorite in the upcoming match, but the Japanese have not been very pleasing with their results lately. We believe that the Chinese team has done a great job of correcting their mistakes and this time they will not lose in front of local fans.
Our prediction is Shandong Taishan will not lose with a coefficient of 1.65
Bet on total
Given the teams' statistics, the upcoming match should be productive. This season, Shandong Taishan and Yokohama Marinos score on average almost two goals each and concede more than one. In two of the last three matches at this stadium, both teams also scored. Most likely, this time there will be no zeros on the scoreboard.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.49
Bet on corners
Based on all of the above, it is clear that in the upcoming match we expect a game with headwinds and breaking the over-all corner score.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.68
