Dalian Pro vs Beijing Guoan FC Prediction: The Imperial Guards To Cruise To A Comfortable Win

Dalian Pro welcomes Beijing Guoan FC to the Dalian Sports Center Stadium in the 12th round of the Super League.

Will Dalian Pro be able to snap their ten-match winless run by claiming a comfortable win in this clash, or will they be on the receiving end of another disappointing defeat in front of their impatient fans?

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Dalian Pro vs Beijing Guoan, probable lineups, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Dalian Pro

Form: LLLLL

The Blue Hawks were once again met with a disheartening outcome in their recent match on the road against Shandong Taishan, as they bowed down to a convincing 2:0 defeat with their performance in that match out of sorts.

Prior to that, they blew their chance of salvaging a point in a highly competitive match against Tianjin Teda, as a second-half stoppage-time own goal from Song Zhiwei saw them suffer a narrow 1:0 defeat, another foiled plan in their bid to get back to winning ways.

The Blue Hawks have undoubtedly struggled for consistency as they are currently on a five-match losing streak and are winless in their last ten matches, and it's without a doubt they'll be desperate to get back to winning ways as they seek to do away with their poor form.

They presently occupy 16th place in the relegation zone with six points to their name and are nine points adrift from safety, making collecting all three points here crucial if they are to escape the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Wu; Wang, Lin, Huang, He; Bosancic, Lu; Lin, Tsonev, Manzoki; Mamba 

Beijing Guoan FC

Form: WLWDW

The Imperial Guards lived up to their billing as favorites in their recent match against Changchun Yatai FC at home, as they eked out a hard-fought 4:3 triumph to secure all three points.

Prior to that, their trip to Huzhou Olympic Sports Center to lock horns with Zhejiang Professional FC didn't produce the outcome they were looking for as they succumbed to a 3:2 defeat.

That loss against Zhejiang Professional FC was the only solitary loss suffered in the last eight matches, in which they have picked up four wins and three draws to accumulate 15 points. During that time, they displayed their mastery in offense, scoring 16 goals while surrendering 10 goals, and it goes without saying that they have typified consistency.

They currently occupy 5th place with 17 points, level on points with Shandong Taishan (6th) and Changchun Yatai FC (7th), and are two points adrift of 4th place, while their bid to enter the top three is hampered by a five-point deficit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

Han; Li, Bai, Ngadeu, Feng; Ademi, Souza, Gao, Kang; Wang, Yang

Expert Betting Tips

Dalian Pro are underdogs on their own turf in this clash mainly because of two things: their erratic performance, which sees them on a five-match losing streak, and the fact that they have only won one of their last eleven matches in this fixture. With those aforementioned issues, nothing much can be expected from them here other than a convincing loss.

Beijing Guoan FC will undoubtedly fancy their chances of posting their second consecutive victory against a side that has been in poor form, showing close to nothing with their erratic performance. Given that their opponent has gone five home matches without a win, picking up three draws and two losses, their victory in this clash is not one to be doubted.

Beijing Guoan FC have not lost to Dalian Pro in their last five away matches, recording four wins and a draw, which makes them an appealing pick in the full-time market to get the better of their opponent and secure another three-pointer.
