Although Europe’s elite might all be enjoying their summer breaks, that doesn’t mean we are short of action from the rest of the footballing globe.
For those of you that are looking to stick on a midweek double, we have found a couple of noteworthy tips that can offer a great return for your Thursday flutter.
12:35 Changchun Yatai vs Shenzhen
Suffering a remarkable second-half collapse away at Beijing Guoan last weekend as they eventually slumped to a 4-3 defeat, Changchun Yatai are desperate to claim a much-needed Super League boost on Thursday afternoon. Along with signing off May with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Shanghai Port, Chen Yang’s side have lost back-to-back appearances for the first time this season.
While the midweek hosts might have shown some rather glaring defensive issues over the past fortnight, the Jilin-based outfit do have a pair of attacking talismans who are enjoying their own free-scoring runs.
While 26-year-old Leonardo might have already notched nine Super League strikes since opening the 2023 campaign, the red-hot Long Tan has also continued to impress over the past few weeks.
Bagging what turned out to be a consolation strike away at Beijing Guoan last weekend, the one-time DC United striker has now found the net in three of his last four Super League appearances.
With Changchun Yatai opening Thursday’s showdown priced at 4/11 with BetUS to draw a line under their recent blip, the 35-year-old will have a key role to play here.
Watching Shenzhen slump to a routine 3-0 drumming away at Zhejiang Professional last time out, Thursday’s guests have gained a real reputation for their extended issues on the road.
Priced as high as 11/2 with 1xBet when they travel to the Nanling Stadium in midweek, it should be noted that the Phoenix have remarkably collected just a single point from their last eight straight Super League appearances outside of Guangdong continuing on from last season.

19:30 Aswan SC vs Arab Contractors
Although the Arab Contractors might have been hit with last-gasp heartbreak at the hands of Ismaily last week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 draw, Shawky Gharib’s side are enjoying what has become an eye-catching end to the 2023 Premier League campaign.
Unbeaten in each of their last seven domestic appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to April 9th – the Mountain Wolves have cruised their way to a top-six finish this season.
Likewise punching their spot in the quarter-finals of this year’s Egypt Cup as they stormed to a 4-0 romp against Al Hammam on May 8th, Gharib’s men have also found a real clinical edge in the final third.
Picking up a 1-0 win when they welcomed Aswan to Nasr City for their reverse meeting on January 19th, the Cairo-based outfit will be looking to produce a repeat display here.
While Aswan might open their penultimate Premier League fixture holding a two-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, Thursday’s guests are firmly looking over their shoulder and remain in a real scrap to avoid an immediate second-tier return.
Last seen putting in a toothless display as they suffered a 1-0 loss away at Haras El Hodood, Ayman El Ramady’s men have now lost each of their last four straight domestic appearances across all competitions and they have also shown some glaring issues on home soil.
Priced at 5/2 with Olympusbet to spring what would be an upset on Thursday night, it is worth highlighting that Aswan have remarkably recorded just a single victory in front of their own supporters since way back on January 2nd.
