Competition: Chinese Super League
Market: Zhejiang Professional win
Odds: 19/20 @ BetUS
Knowing that they can leapfrog Wednesday̢۪s guests, Zhejiang Professional will welcome Tianjin Jinmen to the Huanglong Sports Center in midweek.
Starting with the hosts, putting in what was a rugged performance last weekend as they snatched a 0-0 stalemate against title contenders Shanghai Shenhua, Zhejiang are enjoying what has been an eye-catching flurry over the past few weeks. Getting August underway with an action-packed 4-2 victory away at Shenzhen, Raul Caneda̢۪s side have skyrocketed their way into the top-half and they should be confident of laying down a marker here. Enjoying a three-match winning run on either side of opening August, the former Al-Nassr boss has also seen his squad suffer just a single Super League defeat since the start of May. Knowing that they can leapfrog Wednesday̢۪s opponents, Zhejiang should also be excited by their overall success on home soil. Including a 3-2 win against Wuhan Three Towns last month, Caneda̢۪s side have remarkably not suffered a single defeat in front of their own supporters over the past 11 months.
As for the visitors, claimed what was a welcomed boost last weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory at home against Dalian Yingbo, Tianjin will be looking to use that gritty performance as a platform to build on. However, despite drawing a line under their three-match winless run, You Genwei̢۪s side have largely struggled to find much fluidity. Signing off July with a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Qingdao Hauniu, Wednesday̢۪s guests have also shown some extended issues on the road. Including a 3-0 drumming against Shanghai Shenhua on June 25th, the Tigers have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous five away fixtures across all competitions. It should also be noted, Tianjin hold a nightmare record at the Huanglong Sports Center. Including a 3-2 loss when they traveled to Zhejiang last season, they have lost all of their previous five trips Рa run that stems all the way back to 2013.
