Prediction for China

Guangdong GZ-Power enters Round 9 sitting comfortably at the top of the table. Their offense has been incredibly efficient lately, providing the heavy lifting for an Over 1.5 market: ​They have scored 10 goals across their last 5 matches (averaging 2.0 goals scored per game on their own). ​Recent high-scoring results include a 3-1 win over Nantong Zhiyun, a 1-2 victory over Changchun Yatai, and a 3-0 clean sheet against Meizhou Hakka. ​Out of their last four league matches, 100% of them cleared the Over 1.5 line comfortably. Shijiazhuang Gongfu and Meizhou Hakka Both sides are currently sitting uncomfortably low in the League 1 standings. ​This isn't a match where either manager can afford to sit back and settle for a boring 0-0 draw. ​Meizhou Hakka needs to prove they can contend in this division, while Gongfu wants to capitalize on a relegated giant's low confidence. An early goal from either side will completely blow this game open, forcing the chasing team to abandon their defensive structure.
