Shandong Luneng faces Shenzhen in round 5 of the Chinese Super League. The match will be played on Saturday, July 15th at Pro Soccer Academy Base (Dalian)
Li Xiaopeng's men will try to build on their success after defeating the main favorite, representing Guangzhou. A strong defense of Shandong Luneng decided a lot, as well as a VAR review, which canceled Paulinho's goal after a long debate. Now Shandong has to play against a team that everyone promised the status of an outsider. The victory over Cannavaro's team was only the second in the tournament. It allowed Shandong Luneng to return to the top four. Many people note a drop in scoring compared to previous seasons, but now the calendar has thrown a very suitable opponent to improve statistics.

Nominal visitors entered the elite Chinese arena only closer to our time. Shenzhen started with a confident victory over the second club from Guangzhou, which has serious problems in defense. The 3:0 score speaks for itself. An unexpected easy victory relaxed Shenzhen, which led to three consecutive defeats. In each of the lost matches, at least two goals flew into the net of the nominal visitors, but Shenzhen itself did not leave without a goal.
I think the hosts will not lose in this scoring meeting. Looking at the open style of the visitors, as well as a portion of criticism that fell on the head of Shandong’s striker Guido Pelle, one should expect a powerful start from the favorite. However, the visitors also score regularly, so I decided to choose a safer bet. When choosing between the victory of Luneng and its goals scored, it is more logical to take the second alternative. The price does not differ much, but I don’t believe in a 1:0 score.
Prediction for the match: Shandong Luneng to score over 1.5 goals
