Sunday's Chinese Super League predictions including Zhejiang vs. Henan

sportsmole.co.uk, 3 July 2022, 05:15
Meizhou Hakka vs. Shenzhen (Sunday, 9.30am)

Round eight of the 2022 Chinese Super League season commences with a clash between Meizhou Hakka and Shenzhen at the Wuhua Hengpi Football Town on Sunday.

The home side set out to record consecutive wins for the first time since the turn of the year, while the visitors seek to end a run of three games without a win.

We say: Meizhou Hakka 1-0 Shenzhen

Both teams are separated in the league table only on goal difference, suggesting that a tight affair is expected in this one. However, we are tipping the home side to claim a narrow win come the end of the 90 minutes.

Dalian Pro vs. Changchun (Sunday, 10.30am)

Gameweek eight of the 2022 Chinese Super League season kicks off with a clash between Dalian Pro and Changchun Yatai at the Wuyuan River Stadium on Saturday.

The hosts head into the clash looking to pick up consecutive wins for the first time this term, while the visitors set out to extend their current three-game unbeaten run.

We say: Dalian Pro 1-2 Changchun Yatai

There is little to choose between the teams coming into this one, and the game could easily swing either way. That said, we fancy the visitors to just about see off the threat of the home side and emerge victorious in the end.

Tianjin Jinmen vs. Beijing Guoan (Sunday, 10.30am)

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger welcome Beijing Guoan to the Meixian Tsang Hin-Chi Stadium on Sunday looking to record a fourth straight victory.

Meanwhile, the away side make the journey looking to get back to winning ways off the back of consecutive stalemates in each of their last two outings.

We say: Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 1-1 Beijing Guoan

Beijing boast a very good record in this fixture, and they will back themselves to get the job done on Sunday. However, Tianjin are playing with real belief at the moment, so we are backing a share of the spoils here.

Shandong vs. Guangzhou City (Sunday, 12.30pm)

Having lost each of their opening seven games of the new Chinese Super League campaign, Guangzhou City go head-to-head with Shandong Taishan on Saturday.

The Taishan Dui, on the other hand, head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last 13 games against the visitors since 2016 and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.

We say: Shandong Taishan 2-0 Guangzhou City

Shandong Taishan will be licking their lips as they welcome a floundering Guangzhou City side who are yet to pick up a point this season. The Taishan Dui's home turf has been a fortress so far and we are backing them to extend their dominance over the visitors and come away with all three points once again.

Wuhan TT vs. Sh. Shenhua (Sunday, 12.30pm)

The Puwan Stadium plays host to a thrilling top-of-the-table clash in the Chinese Super League as Wuhan Three Towns and Shanghai Shenhua square off on Sunday.

Pedro Morilla's side currently sit top of the league standings with 17 points from seven games so far, two points and one place above the Flower of Shanghai.

We say: Wuhan Three Towns 3-1 Shanghai Shenhua

Wuhan Three Towns and Shanghai Shenhua are the only two sides yet to lose this term and this makes this weekend's matchup an exciting one. While both sides are currently firing on all cylinders, we are backing the Wuhan outfit to maintain their super goalscoring form and outscore the visitors.

Zhejiang vs. Henan (Sunday, 1.00pm)

Zhejiang Professional welcome Henan Songshan Longmen to the Wuyuan River Stadium in round eight of the Chinese Super League on Sunday.

The Red Devils head into the weekend off the back of suffering their first league defeat of the season and will look to quickly bounce back from that result.

We say: Zhejiang Professional 1-1 Henan Songshan Longmen

Zhejiang will look to take advantage of the Red Devils' slip up and exact revenge for their 3-1 defeat in June's reverse fixture. However, given the gulf in quality between the two sides, we are tipping the visitors to do just enough to leave with a point.
