Meizhou Hakka - Shanghai Shenhua: betting tip for the Chinese Championship match

Current form

Last year, Meizhou Hakka managed to retain its place in the Super League, even though it finished in the penultimate place. This time, the team does not intend to fight for survival and so far occupies a comfortable 10th place, ahead of the relegation zone by five points. The home team's game lacks balance - the team scores a lot, but the defensive play leaves much to be desired. The club has 19 goals scored and conceded after 10 matches. In the last round, Milan Ristic's team lost on the road to Qingdao West Coast (1:3). 

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have no losses in the squad before the match with the leader. 

Interesting betting trends

• The team has won only one of the last five matches.
• The hosts lost all face-to-face matches

Approximate line-up: Guo - Wang, Jocic, Tian, Yue - Jeong, Chen - Ngom Mbekeli, Rodrigo Henrique, Liu - Shekua

Current form

Shanghai Shenhua is ready to fight for the championship again. Last season, we were just one point short of the trophy. Now Leonid Slutsky's team began to storm the top from the very first rounds, but in the last round the Russian specialist's team still suffered its first defeat of the season, losing to the main pursuer, Chengdu (0:1). Now the guests are three points behind the leader, so you definitely need to win the upcoming match in order to catch up with your competitor. We will have to act without Teixeira, who grabbed a penalty at the end of the last match. 

Disqualifications and injuries

Ibrahim Amadou and Dai Wai-tsung remain in the infirmary. Teixeira is disqualified. 

Interesting betting trends

• The team has won four of the last five matches.
• The visitors have conceded only one goal in the last three rounds.

Approximate line-up: Xiu - Chan, Zhu, Jiang, Manafa - Wu, Li Ke, Gao - Haoyang - Andre Luis, Saulo Mineiro
