Shandong Luneng faces Dalian Pro in round 8 of the Chinese Super League. The match will be played on Saturday, August 29th at Dalian Sports Center Stadium (Dalian)
Shandong leads the group. The team scored 16 points after seven rounds. The goal difference is 13-5. Li Xiaopeng inculcated in his men an attacking style of game. In the last three rounds, the team does not leave the field without at least two goals scored. In the last match against Guangzhou Fuli, Shandong scored as many as five goals. The team has a very experienced Italian forward Pelle. Having played six matches in the tournament, he already scored three goals.

Dalian is the complete opposite of the upcoming rival. The team has not gained a single victory yet. Having three points, it takes the last place in Group A. And it has already conceded 14 goals. Dalian Pro has two legends of European football. Spanish specialist Rafa Benitez trains it. Chelsea, Liverpool, Inter, Napoli, Real Madrid - this is not a complete list of his places of work. And the captain is the Slovak Hamsik, who played for Napoli for 12 seasons. There is also the Venezuelan Rondon, who played for Zenit for three seasons. But what's the point of this? No game, no result...
Despite the polar positions of the teams in the standings, I will not bet on the leader's victory. Dalian Pro is a very unpleasant guest for Shandong. If we look at six head-head meetings on Shandong’s pitch, the hosts won only three times and lost two games. However, we may well bet on goals performed by the leader. Even if the Blue Hawks manage to take some points in this match, their defense has not become more reliable. Dalian has conceded at least two goals in 14 of the last 20 matches. Shandong upset Dalian’s goalkeeper at least twice in three of the last five head-to-head matches. Shandong has scored at least two goals in six of the last eight home games. I think it will add a couple of goals to its asset one again.
Prediction for the match: Shandong Luneng to score over 1.5 goals
