APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Home or Away

APWin experts have analyzed the main betting markets and selected high-value bets.

👉 Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

After scanning the different markets for Shanghai SIPG vs Machida Zelvia, we find that under 9.5 corners is the most eye-catching bet based on the playing profile of the two sides.

We don't foresee much free-flowing attacking football from the two teams, which will greatly reduce the chances of them winning the 10 total corners required to sink this bet.

👉 Our prediction is: Machida Zelvia win or draw

Even though Machida Zelvia will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on Machida Zelvia to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

Machida Zelvia does have its share of flaws, but Shanghai SIPG has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to Machida Zelvia.
