Guangzhou City F.C vs Guangzhou Evergrande Prediction: Embroiled In A Relegation Battle, Neither Side Will Settle For Less Than A Goal In This Encounter!

After being held to a scoreless tie in their previous outing against Tianjin Teda, Guangzhou Evergrande will be looking to rebound as they take on Guangzhou City F.C at the Yuexiushan Stadium for their 18th matchday of the Super League.

Form: WLLLL

The hosts will be attempting to put their poor performance behind them and start fresh by claiming a more convincing victory this time around as they find themselves embroiled in a relegation battle with fellow neighbors, Guangzhou Evergrande.

While they have been in complete despair lately, they recently played Tianjin Teda, and this time justice was done for them as they won 2-0 at home to bring some positivity to their efforts.

They had lost 13 straight games at the start of the season, which had a demoralizing effect on their morale because they had been inconsistent and had completely failed to win on any point.This was their second victory of the campaign.

They have remained steadfastly in 17th position in the Super League standings with 6 points from their past 16 games thus far, which has sparked concerns about their future in the super league.

Form: DLLDW

The visitors, who currently hold the 16th spot in the Super League standings and are actively seeking to avoid the relegation zone, have also recently seen a fair number of setbacks while trying to maintain a balanced form that they are still struggling to fully grasp.

They played Tianjin Teda recently, and while they had the advantage of the opposition being reduced to ten men early in the first half, they were tormented by regret as they were unable to secure all three points. Instead, the game ended in a scoreless draw, and they were forced to settle for a share of the spoils.

A point might have been sufficient for them, but three points would have been more than enough to help them escape the relegation zone. Their consistency has not changed, and neither has their form.

Although they are not a particularly offensive team that likes to attack frequently, they have only managed to score 11 goals in their last 17 games while giving up 26. They earned a total of 5 points from one victory, two draws, and two losses in their previous five games.

• Guangzhou City F.C has failed to score in five of their last nine home games.
• In their last five matches, Guangzhou Evergrande have yet to lose to Guangzhou City F.C.
• When these two teams encounter, they score an average of 4.6 goals.
• Guangzhou Evergrande scores 3.4 goals on average against Guangzhou City F.C, while Guangzhou City F.C scores 1.2 goals on average against Guangzhou Evergrande.
• Their most recent Super League clash concluded in a 3-3 tie.

Guangzhou City F.C has won 7 of the last 26 meetings; Guangzhou Evergrande has won 13, and there have been 6 draws, with a goal difference of 61-41 in favor of Guangzhou Evergrande.

It's safe to say that we will be entertained by an exciting game in which both teams will take an offensive approach and leave their defensive lines unguarded because they'll be desperate for points in this matchup.

Despite the fact that both teams have scored 23 goals in their last 17 games, neither team has scored many goals since the start of the season, and this match is screaming for a low-scoring encounter.

However, we anticipate that the opposite will be true, as this would have implied if the season had just begun, and we should also note that neither team had looked particularly strong defensively in their previous five games.

The bookmakers' line is on an over 2.5 goal total. They are not doubtful that there will be goals in this game, so that is the first option we will pick, giving both teams the benefit of the doubt that they will play to the best of their abilities.

• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.96
• Both Teams To Score + Goals - Over 2.5 for 2.18
• Asian Handicap - Guangzhou Evergrande 0.0 for 1.92
