NextGOAL tip: Beijing Guoan -1.25 · 1 stars
Beijing Guoan and Qingdao West Coast meet at a moment when the two sides are in very different moods. The hosts have just thrashed their opponents 3-1 in the Asian cup competition, followed by a clean-sheet win in the league, while the visitors were just hammered 0-4 in their latest match. The form of the two sides is therefore clearly opposite. Beijing Guoan are unbeaten in 5 straight matches, and in the league they are a team with a reasonably tight defence, having conceded 33 goals from 27 matches, while Qingdao West Coast have picked up points by playing compactly, drawing as many as 14 of 27 matches, but their attack is still thin, scoring only 31 goals. Their away games therefore often end without defeat but also without much advantage over anyone. If the hosts score first from their fluid attacking play, the game is likely to open up immediately, because Qingdao West Coast will have to push forward to fight, which will open more space for Beijing Guoan to work in the final third.
