Wuhan Three Towns vs Chengdu Rongcheng Prediction: Counting On The Hosts' Offensive Prowess To Deliver On Goals

Chengdu Rongcheng will travel to Wuhan Sports Center Stadium for their 20th Super League matchday in pursuit of a victory over table-toppers Wuhan Three Towns.

Form: WWLLW

Following their dominance in their recent victory over Dalian Pro, it was a show of class as they thrashed the Blue Hawks 4-0 at home to win three points and extend their winning streak to two games.

With 11 goals scored in their last five games, they have picked up 9 points while maintaining their offensive prowess. They are currently 3 points ahead of Shandong Taishan in second place and hold the lead with 50 points.

The table leaders are now on a two-match winning streak in the Super League and are well on their way to regaining their old dominant nature, and with home advantage, a second consecutive victory could be on the cards.

Form: DLWLD

In their most recent game, Hangzhou Greentown scored an own goal to their aid, but despite their best efforts to retain a strong defense, they were unable to hold on to their one-goal advantage and were forced to share the spoils as the game ended in a 1-1 draw at home. Prior to that, they had just lost 2-0 to Dalian Pro on the road despite having the upper hand for the majority of the game.

Their form has been unstable in their last five matches, as they've been on a rollercoaster of outcomes, registering two losses, one victory, two draws, and amassing a total of seven points, which realistically wasn't enough to keep their stronghold in the standings.

They are currently ranked 9th with 32 points and face a three-point deficit that will assure their advancement to 7th place if they were to eke out a victory, while a mistake in their performance might see them tumble to 10th place.

• Wuhan Three Towns have scored a goal in each of their last nine Super League home games.
• The average number of goals scored in matches between Wuhan Three Towns and Chengdu Rongcheng is 1.25.
• Chengdu Rongcheng are undefeated in 16 of their previous 19 games in the Super League.
• When playing at home, Wuhan Three Towns scores 3.54 goals on average, whereas Chengdu Rongcheng scores 1.5 goals on average when playing away.

This will be their first Super League meeting.

Chengdu Rongcheng may not be at their best right now, but it's worth remembering that this is a team that was once on a five-match winning streak in the Super League, defeating the likes of Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Teda during that time.

Moreover, despite being listed as underdogs, they could be a handful to their opponent Wuhan Three Towns in this match, as their last meeting in the second tier league saw them edge a 1-0 victory, and a repeat could be on the way if they catch the hosts off guard.

Wuhan Three Towns were on the brink as their performance began to falter, but they appear to have turned things around, as indicated by their recent two-match winning run, which they won easily and which has allowed them to keep the ship afloat.

We do expect the table leaders to come out on top against a team that lacks attacking prowess, scoring just 21 goals in their last 21 games. Despite the fact that a third straight victory would give them an impressive run of form after their losses, their home form has been a key factor in their ability to handle pressure and adversity.

A wager on the total over should suffice, as the table leaders' attacking skills are unrivaled in the Super League, and getting on the scoresheet should be a breeze for them.

• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.66
• Both Teams To Score (Yes) for 1.95
• Corners - Over 9.5 for 2.00
