Cangzhou vs Shanghai Shenhua - 22/07/24

Cangzhou vs Shanghai Shenhua Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Jinzhou Stadium is set to host a thrilling encounter between Cangzhou and Shanghai Shenhua on Monday, 22nd July, in the 24th round of the China Super League. The home team, Cangzhou, will be looking to bounce back from their recent slump, having managed only 2 points from their last 5 games. Their form has been dismal, with 0 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws in their last 5 matches.

On the other hand, Shanghai Shenhua are flying high, sitting comfortably in 2nd place with 49 points. They have been on a roll, taking 13 points from their last 5 games, with an impressive record of 4 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw. Their last outing saw them hold Shenzhen Peng City to a goalless draw away from home.

When these two teams last met in the Super League, Shanghai Shenhua ran out comfortable winners, thrashing Cangzhou 4-0 at the Shanghai Stadium on 01/05/2024. In fact, Cangzhou have failed to register a single win in their last 5 head-to-head matches against Shanghai Shenhua.

Cangzhou's struggles in front of goal are evident, with an average of just 0.4 goals scored per game. They concede an average of 2.2 goals per game, which could be a concern against a free-scoring Shanghai Shenhua side that averages 2.6 goals per game. The visitors have been solid at the back as well, conceding only 0.4 goals per game on average.

Bet

Considering the form and statistics of both teams, I would recommend an Away Win for Shanghai Shenhua at odds of 1.25. Shanghai Shenhua's dominance in their head-to-head matches against Cangzhou, combined with their superior form and goal-scoring ability, make them a strong favorite to take all three points. Although the odds may not be as lucrative, the probability of an away win seems high, making it a relatively safe bet.
