Shenzhen Peng City FC

Shenzhen Peng City FC had a disappointing debut in the top-flight league as they recorded a 1-0 defeat at the hands of ten-man Zhejiang Professional FC at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center and will aim to bounce back as they continue to search for their first win.

In that match, Jesús Tato's wards were presented with the perfect opportunity within the first nineteen minutes of the opening half to alter the game's trajectory following Guowen Sun's sending-off. However, despite having a numerical advantage, it wasn't enough to see them concede the first goal eight minutes later, ultimately leading to their defeat.

With no points accumulated thus far, Shenzhen Peng City FC currently sits in 12th place in the China Super League standings, two places above the relegation zone and three points adrift of second-placed Shandong Taishan.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Tianjin Teda

Tianjin Teda, on the other hand, were also on the receiving end of an unfavorable outcome in their opening match as they were held to a drab 1-1 draw against Nantong Zhiyun FC at the TEDA Football Stadium, denying them a maiden home win.

In that match, they played out a goalless draw in the first half despite registering seven goal attempts, with two finding the target. However, as the second half commenced, new signing Albion Ademi's goal in the 51st minute witnessed the 25-year-old give his side a vital lead, although his valiant efforts were futile as their opponents restored parity seventeen minutes later, ultimately leading to a draw.

With a point accumulated thus far, Tianjin Teda currently sits in ninth place in the China Super League standings, two points adrift of the AFC Champions League spot occupied by Shandong Taishan in second place and one point ahead of the relegation zone. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Expert Betting Tips

Shenzhen Peng City FC will be looking to avoid a second consecutive league defeat as they play host to Tianjin Teda with the sole intention of securing maximum points. However, the only issue that can come between them and achieving such a feat is their frittering away of scoring opportunities in the final third, as evidenced in their recent match against Zhejiang Professional FC. 

Therefore, we are inclined to think the veteran Tianjin Teda, who boasts a superior squad at their disposal, is poised for a comfortable away win.
