Chengdu Rongcheng vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions Prediction: Mighty to Maintain or fall?

Chengdu and Cangzhou find themselves in a face-off this Sunday, the 4th of July. What’s more exasperating and exhilarating for both players, and fans, is they are one level from each other on their league table. Chengdu, ranked 15, sits directly below the mighty lions. No team is willing to remain where they are, and not seek to go lower. Thus, their next matchup won’t be a breeze for either team. But let statistics do the talking.

From the 12th of June this year, Chengdu has seen 5 draws in as many games, and no wins or losses. Before that, however, they lost 2-3 to Beijing Guoan. This was an away game for Chengdu, a team that has mostly managed to draw while hosting. Currently, the team boasts of 5 points, only 1 point less than Cangzhou, yet a whopping 14 points away from the league leader Three Towns.

The mighty lions have lost 3 games out of their last 5, all of which were away. Having only won 2 games out of 10 matches played since December, they will be seeking to score and possibly draw in their next match. Several games have ended with the mighty lions going home goalless, which might be a point to consider when wagering this game. Their away games end up in less than 2.5 goals total, except for their recent match with Meizhou. This being a stronger team, at number 7, it is unlikely that a similar score will transpire during Sunday’s game.

Their previous head-to-head game ended in a goalless score for both teams. It seems they haven’t had other chances at a faceoff, meaning it is hard to base a wager on head-to-head stats.

Reviewing previous games, and their one –head-to-head match, the scoreboard on Sunday is likely to display fewer than 2.5 goals. Also, the odds of both teams scoring are slim to none. Incidentally, Chengdu has had several games ending in a draw. It makes sense to place a draw or possible win for Chengdu going forward.

• Under 2.5 for 1.65
• Both Teams to Score- No for 1.62
• Chengdu wins for 1.83
