There’s just the one match being played on Friday night in the Chinese Super League but an important which concerns top and bottom of the division as the betting tips continue at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center.
Jiangsu Suning Prediction- Can Jiangsu close the gap on top three?
5th placed Jiangsu Suning can close the gap on the top three clubs to 7 points if they take all three points when lowly Shanghai Shenhua visit on Friday night.
Jiangsu Suning registered an emphatic 4-1 home win over Beijing Renhe in last week’s tussle and manager, Cosmin Olaroiu, will be urging his players for more of the same this evening.
The hosts have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 matches overall in the Chinese top flight which was a 3-2 loss away from home at Hebei CFFC.
Recent wins against Chongqing and Beijing Renhe have helped Jiangsu Suning stay relatively close to the top three clubs in the Super League.
This season’s form on home turf at their Nanjing Olympic Sports Center has been impressive as well as the home side have won 5 of their first 6 matches on home soil.
The home side have posted a home record of 5-1-0 18/7 so far this season and the bigger picture shows that they’ve been hard to beat on home turf for some time.
Suning have lost just 1 of their last 20 home matches.
Shanghai Shenhua Prediction – Can Shanghai lift themselves out of bottom two?
Shanghai Shenhua currently occupy second from bottom place in the Chinese Super League as they make their way to face Jiangsu Suning on Friday night.
The visitors were handed a third defeat in four matches last time out in a 2-1 loss away at Beijing Guoan which has left them in the relegation zone.
Earlier defeats to Shandong Luneng and Dalian Yifang have also contributed to Shanghai Shenhua’s current plight, as well as a 9-match sequence without a win.
Within this miserable 9-match run without success are 6 defeats and 3 draws which means that Shenhua have gained just 3 points from the possible 27 on offer in recent times.
The story doesn’t get much better when looking at Shanghai Shenhua’s form and results away from home in the Chinese top flight either.
It’s now 6 matches without a win on their travels amidst an overall below-par away record of 1-2-4 7/10 which includes failing to keep a single clean sheet.
They’ve also failed to beat their hosts, Jiangsu Suning, away from home in their previous 13 visits in all competitions.
Key-Facts – Jiangsu Suning v Shanghai Shenhua
- Jiangsu Suning have won 5 of their first 6 matches on home soil
- Suning have lost just 1 of their last 20 home matches in the Super League
- Shanghai Shenhua have gone 6 away matches without a win
Betting Tips Verdict
Jiangsu Suning’s dominance should continue on Friday night against Shanghai Shenhua, with the hosts also covering the asian handicap line too.
