Tianjin Teda vs Beijing Guoan Predictions

Tianjin Teda have half the amount of points on the board as their guests this weekend Beijing Guoan, but the hosts still head into Sunday’s match as the form favourites and will be confident of upsetting the odds. Beijing Guoan top the CSL table by two points, so defeat this weekend could see them replaced at the summit by Shanghai SIPG.

Tianjin Teda edged a five-goal thriller in midweek as they progressed through to the next round of the FA Cup at the expense of Shanghai Shenxin. The visitors went behind in the thirty-fourth minute, but equalised through Mao Haoyu in the forty-first minute and went in level at the interval. Zhang Chiming and Rong Hao both scored early in the second half to put Tianjin Teda 3-1 in front, and despite conceding three minutes from time the visitors held on to win the tie. Beijing Guoan also made it through to the next round of the cup in midweek, beating Changchun Yatai 3-1. Yu Yang, Bakambu, and Hou Yongyong scored the host’s goals, in what was a commanding performance from the CSL side.

The recent head to head record and form of both teams over the last few weeks, suggests that a double chance bet on Tianjin Teda is well worth a bet this weekend, despite the odds being against Sunday’s hosts. Tianjin Teda have picked up two draws and one win from their last six matches against Beijing Guoan, and five of the last six encounters between the pair have produced under 2.5 goals. Tianjin Teda have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions, while Beijing Guoan have lost three of their last six games. Both teams have scored in five of Tianjin Teda’s last six and three of Beijing Guoan’s last four matches, and with that, and all of the above in mind, we’re backing this game to end in a 1-1 draw.

Brazil’s Johnathan top scores in the CSL for Tianjin Teda this season with eight goals, while Viera is on five for Beijing Guoan and is closely followed by Bakambu on four. We’re confident that Tianjin Teda will take something from Sunday’s match and have backed them with a double chance bet, and have predicted a 1-1 draw. The hosts might not have the best of records against Beijing Guoan, but they do head into the match having only lost one of their last six matches, while their guests have lost their last two away games.
