Bitesize Prediction: Cangzhou vs Tianjin Jinmen Tiger – 11/07/23

Competition: Chinese Super League

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 2/5 @ BetUS

In what could prove to be an enjoyable affair from the Cangzhou Stadium on Tuesday lunchtime, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger will travel to Hebei in midweek.

Starting with the hosts, mounting a second-half comeback away at Qingdao Hainiu over the weekend as they snatched a late 1-1 draw, Cangzhou are desperately seeking some much-needed stability. Marking their return from June’s international break with a lively 2-1 loss at the hands of Qingdao Youth Island while on FA Cup duties last month, Zhao Junzhe’s side have mustered just a single win from any of their previous four domestic appearances across all competitions. Still failing to collect back-to-back Super League victories since opening the 2023 campaign, the former Liaoning coach will have a growing headache over his side’s extended struggles at the back. Signing off May with a remarkable 6-2 drumming at the hands of Beijing Guoan, Tuesday’s hosts have failed to record a single domestic clean sheet over the past nine weeks. It should also be highlighted, Cangzhou have seen five of their last seven home fixtures finish with over 1.5 goals.

As for the visitors, while Tianjin Jinmen might have been disappointed after settling for a 1-1 draw at home against Nantong Zhiyun last weekend, the Tigers are enjoying what has been a real Super League romp. Including signing off June with an action-packed 3-2 victory at home against Qingdao Hainiu, Yu Genwei’s high-flying squad have remarkably not suffered a single domestic defeat since opening the 2023 campaign. Clinching back-to-back wins on their travels by an aggregate score of 4-1, Tianjin should also be excited by a dominant record against the midweek hosts. In fact, along with picking up a routine 2-0 win when they traveled to the Cangzhou Stadium last season, Tianjin have collected 10 points from just their previous four Super League meetings. It should be noted, with 11 of their last 12 historic battles finish with over 1.5 goals, we are expecting a similar outcome here.
