Shenzhen FC vs Tianjin Teda Predictions

Four points and six positions separate these two clubs in the CSL table heading into Sunday’s match, and it’s the visitors Tianjin Teda that occupy seventh place and their hosts Shenzhen who sit just above the relegation zone. Both teams have been struggling for wins of late and both lost last time out, but Sunday’s match will be seen as a perfect chance to return to winning ways.

Shenzhen conceded late in the first half away at Wuhan Zall to trail at the break and their hosts scored another goal deep into stoppage time in the second half to wrap up a 2-0 win. The visitors had 57% of the overall possession and created just as many chances as their hosts, but only have themselves to blame for losing the game. Tianjin Teda went behind in the sixth minute at home to Beijing Guoan last time out, but responded well and got back onto level terms through Johnathan in the fifteenth minute. However, the visitors had more of the ball during the ninety minutes and created more chances, so they deserved their winning goal which arrived early in the second half and made the final scoreline 2-1.

The head to head record between these two clubs and both sides performances over the last month or so suggest that a double chance bet on the visitors is well worth backing this weekend. Tianjin Teda are unbeaten in their last fifteen matches against Shenzhen, have won their last five matches between the pair, and three of those five victories have been by the same 2-1 scoreline. Shenzhen have lost five of their last six matches, while Tianjin Teda have only lost two of their last six, and that’s why we’re going with a double chance bet on the visitors this weekend and why we are backing a 2-1 win for Tianjin Teda.

Preciado top scores for the hosts with five league goals this season but teammate Selnæs has chipped in with four and will also be a danger this weekend. Johnathan moved onto nine CSL goals for the campaign with his strike last time out for Tianjin Teda and is likely to be the match winner this weekend. We’re confident that a double chance bet on Tianjin Teda will payout on Sunday and have predicted a 2-1 win for the visitors. Tianjin Teda have a great record against their guests and have outperformed them in the CSL so far this season, but neither team is in great form and this bet covers us if the games ends in a draw.
