The Chinese Super League action continues on Sunday evening and our next preview features a clash down near the bottom of the table between Tianjin Tianhai and Henan Jianye as the betting tips continue at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium.
Tianjin Tianhai Prediction- Can Tianjin avoid a fifth defeat on the trot?
It’s been a terrible start to the new Chinese Super League campaign for hosts Tianjin Tianhai as they sit bottom of the division with just 7 points to their name.
To make matters worse, Tianjin have registered just 1 win all season to date which was a 3-2 win away at Shanghai Shenhua, but recent results have certainly slumped since then.
Tianjin Tianhai started the season without a win from their first 6 matches overall, but at least three of these were draws with Hebei CFFC, Tianjin Teda and Shanghai SIPG.
The away win at Shanghai Shenhua promised better things for the hosts but instead, their form has nosedived in spectacular fashion, losing 4 of their next 5 matches.
Four recent defeats on the trot to Guangzhou R&F, Beijing Guoan, Wuhan Zall and Beijing Renhe have well and truly dumped the hosts in the relegation zone.
With just 1 win out of their last 9 matches on home turf at their Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium, Tianjin Tianhai are by no means guaranteed of all three points here.
Henan Jianye Prediction – Can Henan continue their good form on the road?
Henan Jianye occupy 10th place in the Chinese Super League and actually possess a better record away from home than on home turf at their Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium.
The visitors have registered just 1 win at home from their first 6 matches of the season, while on their travels, they possess an away record of 2-3-1 8/7.
It certainly looks a pretty stubborn record on the road, and the visitors have made themselves hard to beat on their travels with their only loss being at the league leaders, Beijing Guoan.
Wins on the road at Beijing Renhe and Hebei CFFC in 2-1 and 3-2 victories respectively have been backed up by points on the road in the shape of 3 draws.
Stalemates at Shandong Luneng 2-2, Chongqing Lifan and Wuhan Zall – the latter two both being 0-0 draws means that Henan Jianye have put together a decent unbeaten run on the road of late.
Henan Jianye are unbeaten in their last 4 away matches and in their last visit away to the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium last August, they ran out 2-1 winners.
Key-Facts – Tianjin Tianhai v Henan Jianye
