Wuhan Three Towns vs Zhejiang Professional Prediction: Can the Home Side Finally Hit the Net?

Wuhan Three Towns play host to Zhejiang Professional at Wuhan Sports Center Stadium in the third round of the Chinese Super League. Wuhan are dead last in the league standings, while Zhejiang are tenth with two points accumulated. 

Let's head into the match preview to find the best odds on the Wuhan Three Towns vs. Zhejiang Professional game and my expert picks to place your bets.

Wuhan Three Towns

Wuhan Three Towns are dead last in the Chinese Super League standings. The home team alongside Changchun Yatai are the only teams that have yet to register points from their last two games.

Despite their struggles, it is still too early for head coach Filipe Martins to press the panic button. Martins' troops began the season with a 1-0 away defeat against Chengdu Rongcheng. There were no complaints after that result considering they controlled 41% of ball possession and had 9 attempts at goal compared to their opponents 24.

In the second round they were up against Qingdao West Coast. Despite seeing 62% of ball possession and making 22 attempts at goal, it was not enough to see them prevent a 2-0 defeat.

Zhejiang Professional

Zhejiang Professional went into the international break without a win in their last two games in the Chinese Super League. This currently sees them in tenth place and two points ahead of the relegation zone.

The Green Giants, considering their status, were favourites to win both matches. They began the season with a 1-1 home draw against newly-promoted Dalian Zhixing. In that match, Franko Andrijasevic scored in the opening ten minutes in the first half but his effort was pegged back by a Fernando Karanga equalizer in the 58th minute.

It was the same case in the second round, this time, against another newly-promoted side, Yunnan Yukun. Franko Andrijasevic once again opened the scoring for his side in the first-half stoppage time. His effort was pegged back by a Li Songyi equalizer in the 68th minute. The match ended in a 1-1 away draw.

Expert Betting Tips

Wuhan Three Towns has been struggling in front of goal lately despite having decent chances to score in their recent matches. It's evident they've yet to adapt to head coach Filipe Martins' style of play which is going to take time for them to figure it out.

I have little faith in the home team to walk away with three points. When it comes to Zhejiang Professional, it's more like of a coin flip: I believe they can win but seeing their last two matches have ended in 1-1 draws the skepticism creeps in.

The better way to approach this match is to back both teams to score. Wuhan Three Towns can end their scoring drought here given that they've scored exactly on goal in two of their last three encounters against Zhejiang Professional. Let's not forget that the visitors have conceded a goal in each of their last four league games.
