Nantong Zhiyun vs Shandong Taishan Prediction & Preview
Preview
The Rugao Olympic Sports Center Stadium is set to host a crucial China Super League match on Sunday, July 21st, as Nantong Zhiyun take on Shandong Taishan in the 24th round of the competition. The home side, coached by David Manuel Cardoso de Almeida Patrício, will be looking to turn their fortunes around after a disappointing run of form.
Nantong Zhiyun currently sit 16th in the Super League with 14 points, having won just one of their last five matches. Their recent form has been woeful, with three losses and one draw in that period. In their last outing, they suffered a 2-0 defeat away to Chengdu Rongcheng at the Dujiangyan Sports Center Stadium.
Shandong Taishan, on the other hand, are enjoying a more comfortable campaign, sitting 5th in the Super League with 31 points. Despite a recent slump, which has seen them win none of their last five matches, they will be buoyed by their impressive 4-0 victory over Qingdao West Coast away at the Qingdao Sports Center Guoxin Stadium.
The two teams have met four times previously, with Shandong Taishan holding the upper hand. They have won two of those encounters, while the other two matches ended in draws. The most recent meeting between the sides saw Shandong Taishan emerge victorious, winning 3-1 at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium on April 30th, 2024.
Nantong Zhiyun's home form has been a concern, with an average of just 0.5 goals scored per game. They have also conceded an average of one goal per game at home. Shandong Taishan, meanwhile, have fared better on their travels, scoring an average of 1.5 goals per away match, while conceding 2.5 goals per game.
Bet
Considering the performance, results, and goals stats for each team, I would recommend a bet on Away Win for Shandong Taishan at odds of 1.57. Despite their recent slump, Shandong Taishan have a strong record against Nantong Zhiyun, and their away form has been decent. With the home side struggling to find the back of the net, I believe the visitors have a good chance of taking all three points. The odds of 1.57 offer a reasonable return for what appears to be a solid bet.
