Tianjin Teda vs Zhejiang Professional FC Prediction: The Green Giants Won't Disappoint

Tianjin Teda will look to avoid defeat and record their first win of the season when they host Zhejiang Professional FC in the second round of the Super League at the Tianjin Olympic Center Stadium.

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

Tianjin Teda

Tianjin Teda did not get off to the ideal start in their recent home encounter against Cangzhou Mighty Lions, but they did manage to recover a point in a 1:1 draw.

In that game, Jürgen Locadia's goal in the 43rd minute would leave them trailing by a goal for much of the game, but Dun Ba's late goal in the 80th minute would bring them level.

They presently sit in eleventh place with a point, only two points behind first place, and will be looking for a more emphatic result in this match.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-5-2

J. Xu; S. Yuanjie, D. Andujar Jimenez, Y. Fan; B. Dun, W. Qiuming, F. Merida, T. Yinong, F. Rosa; R. Beric, M. Tian

Zhejiang Professional FC

Just as the Green Giants felt they were going to settle for a draw against Changchun Yatai at home, they were left saddened at the end, succumbing to a 2:0 setback despite a strong performance.

They had 58% ball possession and 3 shots on goal from 14 attempts in that game, but it wasn't enough to prevent late goals from Tan Long and Serginho that would be their undoing after playing out a scoreless draw for almost the entire game.

With that loss, they are now sixteenth in the relegation zone, but it should not prevent them from putting on a convincing display in this encounter, which may see them climb out of the danger zone and into safety.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

B. Zhao; D. Yu, Lucas, W. Yang, Y. Xin; D. Ewolo, Z. Jiaqi, Y. Junsheng, G. Bin; N. Mushekwi, F. Andrijasevic

Expert Betting Tips

Tianjin Teda will look to get back on track with a convincing win at home this time, but they are up against a team that is far from a walkover, and a more convincing performance than the one they displayed in their first match will be required if they are to avoid an unappealing result at the end of this match.

Zhejiang Professional FC, on the other hand, is looking for their first win of the season after a disappointing showing in their first encounter, and another loss here will surely send them into a tailspin.

When it comes to player quality, there isn't much separating the two teams, so choosing a winner could prove difficult. However, even though Zhejiang Professional FC recently lost convincingly, their 3:0 victory over the hosts the season before is one that shouldn't be disregarded. Betting on them in the "draw no bet market" to avoid a loss should be enough to surface.
