APWin Prediction

1st Half Under 1.5 Goals

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: Draw

Shandong Luneng will have the home advantage in this match, and with the quality of their players to the strength of their performances, they will have the upper hand. But even with all that said, our betting tip is to go for a draw in Shandong Luneng vs Shanghai Shenhua.

We just see some flaws that Shanghai Shenhua can exploit in order to hold the home side to a draw. And with odds of 3.15, the potential payout for a draw is well worth a shot.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
