Meizhou vs Chengdu – For the first time this year, Meizhou Hakka was denied a third straight victory as they were held to a scoreless draw by a determined Beijing Guoan team.
Both teams at the Meixian Tsang Hin-chi Stadium were guilty of lacking sting in the offensive end of the field during an intense match as they failed to convert their chances before agreeing to a sharing of the spoils.
Prior to that, Meizhou Hakka halted a three-game losing streak by defeating Cangzhou Mighty Lions 4-1 on June 29. Four days later, they defeated Shenzhen 1-0.
Ristic’s team is presently seventh in the Chinese Super League standings with 14 points after nine games, six points behind Henan Songshan Longmen for the final AFC Champions League qualification slot.
The next opponent for Meizhou Hakka, who will be trying to go back to winning ways, is a team they have lost to twice and drawn against twice in their previous four matches against them.
A hard-fought 2-1 victory over Tianjin Jinmen Tigers by Chengdu Qianbao last time out allowed them to start their league season.
Ruibao Hu’s first-half goal was cancelled out by a goal from Dun Ba in the 51st minute, but Mutellip Iminqari, an 18-year-old, scored in the 73rd to give the hosts their first victory of the year.
Before that, Seo Jung-team won’s opened the new campaign with consecutive losses to Shenzhen and Beijing Guoan before collecting six draws in their next six matches.
Chengdu Qianbao are now ranked 14th in the league standings with nine points from nine games, but with three points on Monday, they may move up as high as tenth.
Meizhou vs Chengdu – Betting Analysis
Following their first victory of the year, newly promoted Chengdu Qianbao appear to have finally acclimated to the top division and will enter Monday with increased confidence. We are betting on them to build on their impressive showing against the Tigers and win by a slim margin.
The Meizhou Hakka backline has proven to be very resilient, according to their most recent results. Meizhou Hakka have given the opposition little to work with, therefore over the course of their last six games, four goals have gone past their goalkeeper.
Chengdu Rongcheng’s 6 most recent games have seen a total of 6 goals scored for Jung-Won Seo’s team, giving them an average of 1 goals scored per game.
