Guangzhou Evergrande Hebei CFFC betting prediction

After the home loss in the 1st leg, the away team comes to this 2nd leg with a disadvantage of 2 goals and the hard task of having to come back from a negative result in an away match. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses in away matches, with 18 goals scored and 34 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 26 conceded. In the last 7 away league matches Hebei CFFC has a record of 3 wins and 4 losses, so they have won 9 points out of 21 possible. In their away league matches, the most frequent final score was the 3‑1 (3 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches for the CSL, they have reached half‑time in front in 7 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 7 of them.

At the entrance to this play-offs against the national champion in title, Hebei China Fortune would already know that had a very complicated task and even entered this quarter-final with the feeling of duty fulfilled, since, ensuring access to the play-offs of the champion in Group B, the great goal of maintenance was already stamped. In the first leg, the group led by Xie Feng spent most of the time without the ball and defending, but even managed to score first, in the 38th minute, by Yin Hongbo. In the second half, Hebei referred almost exclusively to the last third of his defensive midfield, but was unable to cover the goal paths to Guangzhou Evergrande until the end of the match, conceding not one, but three goals that leave the qualification for the "semi" quite complicated.

Confirmed Lineup: Chi Wenyi, Ximing Pan, Jing Liu, Samir Memisevic, Hang Ren, Paulinho, Senwen Luo, Haifeng Ding, Hongbo Yin, Marcão, Mohamed Buya Turay.
Coach: J. Kim.
