Tianjin Teda vs Hebei FC Prediction: Diverting The Attention To Early Goals In This Encounter

Tianjin Teda will host Hebei FC at the Mission Hills Football Base Stadium on the 24th matchday of the Super League in the hopes of resuming their winning ways after a road loss to Shandong Taishan.

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Tianjin Teda vs Hebei FC, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Tianjin Teda

Form: LLWLW

In a recent game against Shandong Taishan, they chose to take the easy route and accept their fate, which resulted in a 4-1 away loss, which caused their strong defense to crumble in a matter of seconds witnessing a drop of points in the process.

They currently have a two-match losing streak and have only amassed 6 points from two victories and three defeats in their last five games. For a team that was once on a three-match unbeaten streak, they have not been at their best, which may be cause for concern moving forward.

With an average home record that has seen 11 points accumulated from three wins, two draws, and five losses, they may fancy their chances to balance the home equation as they face a team that has struggled on the road.

While the consequences of their stuttering performance have been felt, as they now occupy 11th place with 29 points, which is by far their worst drop as they have dropped three places, it is safe to say that not all is lost as they are three points away from a 10th place finish, while failure to eke out a victory could lead to the worst case scenario of them dropping down to 12th place.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-5-1 

J. Xu (26); S. Yuanjie (32), D. Andujar Jimenez (2), Y. Fan (4), Z. Wang (3); Z. Yingjie (8), Z. Tong (7), T. Piao (24), T. Yinong (31), Y. Shi (40); X. Weijun (11).

Expert Betting Tips

Hebei FC have looked defensively vulnerable in their last 23 matches played and have yet to keep a clean sheet. With the goals they concede piling up, they have topped Guangzhou City FC's record of 72 goals conceded in the 2018/19 season as they have conceded 73, an improvement they may find a fitting description of their lackluster defense.

Tianjin Teda's match against the visitors on August 11th turned out to be a goal fiesta, with goals being exchanged from pillar to post as the game ended with a score of 3-4, with them coming out as favorites. Another spectacular display is expected again as they look to recover from their disappointing loss to Shandong Taishan.

Tianjin Teda have had some problems, as evidenced in the head-to-head meetings, but given the current circumstances, we believe a victory for the visitors is likely. As such, we expect this match to pick up pace in the first half, with the total number of goals going over 1.5, as Hebei FC have yet to convince with their defensive abilities.
