Tianjin Teda vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions Prediction: Expecting A Win For The home Side

The long-awaited Chinese Super League has begun, and the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium will host the opening round match between Tianjin Teda vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions .

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Tianjin Teda vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Tianjin Teda finished their previous season in the CSL in eighth place with 49 points, level with Meizhou Hakka in ninth-place, and were 16 points behind finishing in AFCL Qualifiers, an objective they'll wish to pursue this season.

In the Chinese FA Cup, they won easily against Zhenjiang Huasa in the second round before forfeiting the third round against Wuhan Three Towns on the road, therefore ending their participation in the competition.

The last meeting against Cangzhou Mighty Lions saw them eke out a 3:0 victory at home, and they will look to replicate the same result here as they aim to snatch their first three points of the opening round.

When Cangzhou Mighty Lions defeated newly promoted Beijing 2:1 away from home in their first game of the 2021/22 season, they were sold on the idea that they were in for a successful campaign. Little did they know, however, that this victory was a distraction strategy to lure them into bad form, as they then embarked on a nine-match winless run, which at the time didn't spark much discussion about their future in the CSL.

However, such discussion would soon give way to worry as they only managed three victories in the first half of the season, placing them in the relegation zone and making it all but likely that they would be relegated at the end of the campaign. 

They began to play better in the second half of the season, winning 8 games while losing just 5 and drawing four more. This helped them avoid the danger of being relegated and conclude the season in 12th place with 44 points.

• Cangzhou Mighty Lions have lost their last three games against Tianjin Teda.
• Tianjin Teda has won three straight games versus Cangzhou Mighty Lions.

This will be an intriguing contest between two clubs searching for their first three points in a freshly reformed league, and it will all come down to who is prolific, which in this case is Tianjin Teda.

Tianjin Teda have won three straight games against Cangzhou Mighty Lions, and it's also worth noting that they haven't lost any of their past six home games, collecting four wins and two draws, and we anticipate them to continue that trend here in this match.
