Changchun Yatai vs Tianjin Teda Prediction: One Way Or The Other The Tigers Are Simply The Better Side On Paper

On the 25th matchday of the Super League, Tianjin Teda will travel to Wuyuan River Stadium to take on Changchun Yatai. Will The Tigers be dealt another loss, this time on the road, or will they be able to win two games in a row?

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

Changchun Yatai

Form: DDWLL

Being held to a 2-2 draw to share the spoils in their most recent match on the road against Chengdu Rongcheng, where they missed out on an important victory due to a shaky backline, wasn't the outcome they were hoping for at the end of the day.

They have been attempting to maintain a consistent form despite encountering their fair share of obstacles along the way, as evidenced by their three-match unbeaten streak in the last five games, during which five points were amassed.

With only one point separating them from Tianjin Teda in 10th place, clinching all three points would be a surplus, and they will most likely build on their momentum to record a victory over the visitors. They are currently in 11th place with 31 points.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-2

W. Yake (23); Y. Zhiyu (24), W. Rao (31), J. Okore (4), Q. Cui (21), H. Yiran (34); Serginho (10), Y. Zhang (20), P. Zulj (44); J. Wang (8), T. Long (29).

Tianjin Teda

Form: WLLWL

The Tigers got off to a good start in their recent home match against Hebei FC, scoring five unanswered goals to end their two-match losing streak and return to winning ways as the match concluded to a 5-0 scoreline.

While they did manage to get back on track, their erratic form is far from forgotten as they have two wins to their name in the last five matches, collecting 6 points in total. Maintaining their form until they finally see some improvement in their performance will be a difficult task as they face a tenacious team that has earned the right to be competitive.

So far, they have lost 10, won 9, and drawn 5 of the 24 games played to collect 20 points, putting them in 10th place, 1 point ahead of Changchun Yatai, and 5 points behind a ninth-place finish.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1

J. Xu (26); G. Jiarun (6), Z. Wei (27), S. Yue (33), W. Jianan (20); B. Dun (29), Y. Yingjie (8), F. Merida (38), F. Rosa (18), Y. Shi (40); R. Beric (9).

Expert Betting Tips

Changchun Yatai missed out on sealing all three points against Chengdu Rongcheng at the Shuangliu Sports Centre and that was a complete let-off, and with their position now safely consolidated for the meantime, a win this time around will be the only outcome that'll be sufficient for them as they look to dethrone Tianjin Teda in 10th place.

Tianjin Teda have only produced a fantastic display in their past match against Hebei FC, which saw them bounce back to life after a two-match losing streak, and there's no telling how they'll fare out against a resilient Changchun Yatai, but on paper they must be given the benefit of the doubt to seal all three points.

And, given the hosts' overall potency and vulnerability in the back, which was evident in their previous match against Chengdu Rongcheng, in which they surrendered a two-goal lead for a draw, a draw no bet in Tianjin Teda's favor could be a favourable bet in this case.

• Corners - Over 8.5 for 1.86
