Henan vs Changchun – Betting Analysis
Considering their recent performance, Changchun Yatai have allowed 10 goals in their previous 6 games, scoring against them in 5 of those contests. Changchun Yatai haven’t really played very well defensively. Apart from that, it’s unclear whether or not that trend will repeat itself in this forthcoming game.
The large percentage of scores having a nil in them is an intriguing feature of more recent Henan Jianye games. A wager on “Both Teams to Score” would have lost in as many as 5 of their previous six matches, which led up to this one.
