Dalian Pro vs Guangzhou R and F Predictions

• Guangzhou R&F lost three of their first four games of the season.
• Guangzhou R&F failed to score in each of those three defeats.
• Dalian Pro beat Guangzhou in two of the teams’ last three encounters.

Dalian Pro inching towards first win

Two of the bottom two clubs in Super League Group A face off at the Dalian Sports Center when Dalian Pro host Guangzhou R&F this weekend, though the hosts look better equipped to turn their fortunes around in this basement battle.

After two draws and two one-goal margin defeats following a quartet of tough fixtures, Dalian are just one place from the foot of the table, though there has been enough promise in their performances to suggest that a turnaround is imminent.

While Yannick Carrasco’s departure has been hard felt, Salomon Rondon’s four goal haul after four matches indicates the experienced Venezuelan can replace the Belgian’s star-quality.

Against a Guangzhou defence that has already leaked a whopping 10 goals, Rondon and Dalian Pro will be confident that they can pick up their first victory of the season this weekend, and Rafa Benitez’s Blue Hawks are worth backing at the prices quoted, while our correct score prediction points towards a 2-0 home win.

Guangzhou have looked incredibly toothless in the campaign’s opening weeks, and failed to score in three of their first four Super League assignments. We think Dalian Pro can keep them off the scoresheet again on Saturday.
