Wuhan Zall vs Dalian Pro Prediction: Expect A Thrilling Encounter When These Two Sides Lock Horns

Wuhan Zall host Dalian Pro on the 32nd matchday of the Super League at the Dongxihu Sports Centre.

Will Wuhan Zall be able to regain their winning ways and end their two-match losing streak, or will their losing streak be extended with another defeat?

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Wuhan Zall vs Dalian Pro, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Wuhan Zall

Form: LLDWL

After dropping all three points in a 3:0 loss at home to Tianjin Teda, they couldn't find the back of the net for a consolation goal, lacking finesse in finishing as they registered 10 shots at goal with only three finding the target but nowhere near going in.

As a result of their poor form and a two-match losing streak, Li Jinyu's team only managed to squeak out four points in their last five games. During that time, their porous defense allowed 11 goals while only firing three themselves, demonstrating how little of a threat their offensive style has been in the final third.

From point deduction to being engulfed in the relegation zone, it has certainly been a nightmare they can't wake up from, as reality sees them in 17th place with 17 points and only two points away from escaping the relegation zone, making three points a surplus if they edge a victory over their opponent in this encounter, which they'll be looking forward to achieving given the sense of urgency at hand.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-2

X. Gao (23); X. Cao (31), D. Li (42), B. Viana (5), X. Huang (36), W. Da (29); Z. Pi (40), N. Nihmat (39), B. Liu (66); F. Brown Forbes (10), Z. Lou (70).

Dalian Pro

Form: LWWWW

The Blue Hawks were on the verge of pulling off an upset when they took the lead through Zhao Jianbo's goal in the 55th minute of their recent game against Wuhan Three Towns at home. Unfortunately, 15 minutes before stoppage time, their defense broke down, allowing their opponent to score twice in the span of just two minutes, condemning them to defeat with a score of 2:1.

But overall, they've enjoyed a fantastic run of form, winning four straight games while remaining unbeaten for seven games (during which two draws and five wins were recorded). During that time, 17 points were amassed, and it is without a doubt that they have established themselves as a competitive team.

While they have been extremely competitive in their matches, defeating teams like Shanghai Shenhua, Meizhou Hakka, and Beijing Guoan, replicating the 2:1 victory they achieved over Wuhan Zall back in August will undoubtedly not be a walk in the park this time around as they face a wounded lion that could potentially prove to be dangerous or, worse yet, result in their demise if they don't tread with cautious care.

Since they are currently in 10th place with 42 points and are one point and two points ahead of both Changchun and Yatai in

11th place and Shanghai Shenhua in 12th place, respectively, their goal of finishing in the middle of the table is starting to materialize as they are only three points away from a 9th place finish.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

K. Ablet (32); Y. He (18), L. Longchang (2), X. Wang (6), Z. Lu (38); Y. Fei (28), J. Huang (14), L. Peng (31); Z. Gui (21), J. Zhao (15), G. Sun (11).

Expert Betting Tips

Dalian Pro may have lost their match against Wuhan Three Towns, but that doesn't change the fact that they've been high-flying and highly competitive in their matches, with their performance yielding a victory over Beijing Guoan before their loss, and as such, a victory in this clash could be on the cards for a side that has shown much-needed tenacity.

With only two games left before the conclusion of the season, Wuhan Zall are not exactly exuding confidence, and their situation calls for a sense of urgency, as dropping points is definitely something they don't want to be doing. Therefore, a win in this match is crucial for them as they attempt to escape the relegation zone.

There is no doubt that Dalian Pro are out of the woods and have their sights set on a mid-table finish. However, points are desperately needed in the Wuhan Zall camp, and Li Jinyu is fully aware of this, so this could end up being an interesting match from both sides with different agendas of their own.

As a result, we predict that both teams will score for a combined total of over 2.5 goals in this matchup, as both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings, with three of those matches ending with a total over. While Wuhan Zall has struggled to score in three of their last five games, we still expect them to rise to the occasion this time and display more creativity with their offensive approach.
