Shandong Luneng Chengdu Better City betting prediction
 Shandong |
|  Better City |
Betting suggestion:
Shandong has already scored 8 goals in 3 games, which is close to 3 goals per game. But, he also allowed 4 goals, so he has shown some defensive permeability. Chegdu has been more restrained in its attack, but has still been the protagonist in 2 of the 3 games, with both teams scoring goals. Shandong wants to definitively establish itself in the fight for the title, and to do so it needs to give an affirmative response in these matches. A high-scoring game is expected, and the "over 2.5" line will be an interesting market. Alternatively, a more prudent bet would be the double possibility, for Shandong, with over 1.5 goals.

Shandong and Better City face at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium, in a match for the 4th round of the CSL. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 17‑08‑2024, in a match for the CSL, Shandong Taishan won by (3‑0). The goals of the match were scored by Pedro Delgado (89' ), Jinhao Bi (12' ) and Pu Chen (69' ) for Shandong.

Analysis Shandong
After 2 wins and 1 draw, the home team is in the 1st position, havinf won 7 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Meizhou Hakka by (3‑4), after in the previous match they have won (4‑1) at home, against Dalian Zhixing. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. Shandong has won 6 and tied 4 of the last 10 home 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 goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.
The Shandong Taishan team is showing that it wants to do more and better, compared to what it showed last season. The quality of its squad was never in question, nor was the potential and greatness of the club. However, Shandong was very inconsistent, and unable to establish itself in the most demanding games. Apparently, in these first 3 rounds, at least we see a more relaxed team, in its attack, with a more offensive attitude, especially in the last two games. It is important to highlight that these two matches were against teams fighting to stay in the league, that is, they were not very demanding opponents. At home, Shandong beat Dalian (4-1), and that was the most significant result, since in the last round they beat Meizhou Hakka away from home, but narrowly, (3-4). Thus, Shandong's good attack was the hallmark of this team, despite not being able to break the deadlock in the first meeting. In this 4th round it is time to welcome Chengdu Rongcheng, and now, yes, this is the most demanding opponent, at least in theory, and expectations are high, awaiting a game with many goals.

Analysis Better City
The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 4 points won, after 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Beijing Guoan, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 14 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Better City has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 18 of the last 19 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.
The Chengdu Rongcheng team has been looking quite "outdated" compared to what it showed last season. One of Chengdu's trademarks last season was its attacking ability and the strength it had when playing at home. However, he has already played 2 matches, at home, and both with very short results. In the first, they won (1-0) against Wuhan Three Towns, and in the other, they lost (1-2) to Tianjin Tiger. However, Chengdu's most "successful" game was at Beijing Gouan, as it was the most demanding, and even so they managed to draw 1-1. Even so, Chengdu is below expectations, so expectations are high to understand what response it can give, now in yet another game of maximum demand, at Shandong's home.
