Nantong Zhiyun Chengdu Better City betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 14^th position of the league, with 14 points won, after 3 wins, 5 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, by (1‑1). In the last match, they won in an away match against Wuhan Three Towns, by (1‑2). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 1 win, 3 draws and 11 losses at their stadium. For the league, Nantong Zhiyun won 5 points out of 24 possible points, after 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 8 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 8 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 16 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Nantong team has significantly improved in recent matches, going two consecutive games without a loss, something that had not yet happened since the start of the Chinese Super League. Including an FA Cup match, Nantong is unbeaten in a total of three games. Goals have also been a feature in Nantong's recent matches, with 80% of these encounters seeing 2 or more goals and both teams scoring. Despite the recent upturn in form, Nantong still finds themselves in a precarious position, with only a 1-point advantage above the relegation places. In this 18th round, the team led by David Patrício plays at home, but this has not provided the additional strength the team needs. With just 1 win, 5 draws, and 2 losses, their home record is quite poor. To complicate matters further, the opponent is of high quality. Can Nantong at least secure a point in this round?

Confirmed Lineup: Q. Xue, Liu Wei, Izuchukwu Jude Anthony, Xin Luo, Cao Kang, David Puclin, Yongtao Lu, Issa Kallon, Zilei Jiang, Zheng Haoqian, Farley Rosa.
