Changchun Yatai FC vs Wuhan Three Towns Prediction: Expecting A No Clean Sheet Show When Both These Sides Battle It Out

The curtains are about to fall on an electrifying season of China Super League action, and it all culminates in a high-stakes clash between Changchun Yatai FC and Wuhan Three Towns at the iconic Changchun Stadium.

Last season, Changchun Yatai concluded the season in 13th place, two places above the relegation zone, and this season they are tipped for a mid-table finish and can have no complaints about that as this would be considered an improvement.

In their most recent match against Henan FC on the road, Yuda Tian turned out to be their savior. Three minutes after his introduction, he rattled the net in the 75th minute, which enabled his side to salvage a crucial point in a 1-1 draw, although that result didn't do them any favors in the standings other than extending their lead over 11th-placed Meizhou Hakka by two points.

With 39 points collected from 29 matches played so far, Changchun Yatai sit ninth in the standings, and if they are able to play their cards on the deck right, they could conclude the season in ninth place.

Wuhan Three Towns have failed to defend their league title this season, and with Shanghai Port being crowned the new Chinese Super League Champions, it goes to show that they've had an unproductive season, but not one that has pushed their fans to cut ties with them.

Their recent 1-0 win against already relegated Shenzhen FC at home was a performance below their standards, although those three points secured at the end of the day give them the opportunity to conclude the season in fifth place, a feat that won't be easy to achieve given the tough competition behind them.

With an AFC Champions League qualifier spot flushed down the drain due to a four-point deficit, Wuhan Three Towns occupy seventh place with 48 points in the standings and are three points ahead of eighth-placed Tianjin.

• Changchun Yatai FC have won six of their fourteen home matches in the Super League.
• Wuhan Three Towns have conceded a goal in seven consecutive matches across all competitions.
• Changchun Yatai FC averages 1.64 goals per game when playing at home, and Wuhan Three Towns averages 1.79 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 3 meetings, Changchun Yatai FC have won 1 time, Wuhan Three Towns have won 2 times, and there have been 0 draws, with the goal difference being 6-5 in favor of Wuhan Three Towns.

Changchun Yatai have been a brute force at home despite a 3-0 defeat against Shandong Taishan that put an end to an eight-match unbeaten run, and with this being their final game at home, there's no doubt they'll be on their best display to conclude the season on a positive note.

However, there's no writing of a Wuhan Three Towns side that has shown massive improvement under Tsutomu Takahata after enduring a shaky season and boasting two wins in this clash; their name is surely to be on the scoreboard.

As such, we anticipate both sides to get on the scoreboard combined with the total of over 2.5 goals, as this has been the case in their last three meetings when they collide with each other.

• Both Teams To Score + Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.72
• 2DNB for 1.72
• Total 2 - Over 1.5 for 1.80
