Guangzhou City FC vs Hebei FC Prediction: The Blue Lions In A Better Position To Emerge Victorious!

Guangzhou City FC will host Hebei FC at the Jinjiang Football Training Center Stadium for their 32nd Super League matchday in the hopes of returning to winning ways.

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Guangzhou City FC vs Hebei FC, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Guangzhou City FC

Form: DDLLL

All hopes for the Blue Lions, who were aiming to advance to the next round of the Chinese FA Cup, were dashed when they were eliminated from the competition by Zhejiang Professional, and not much could have been done by them to stop the inevitable.

Prior to that, they held Shanghai Shenhua to a 1:1 draw at the Jinjiang Sports Center, thanks to Guilherme's late strike in the 88th minute, which ensured his side registered an important point, resulting in a change in their ranking.

But that doesn't change the fact that they have failed to win any of their previous nine games, recording a paltry 2 points from two draws and seven defeats, which, to put it bluntly, has caused their form to tank.

Currently in 15th place with 17 points, one spot above the relegation zone, and level on points with Guangzhou Evergrande in 16th place, they are not yet out of danger. Therefore, the only outcome that will be favorable for them in this matchup is a victory, because failure to do so could result in them being dragged into the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-4-1

H. Jiaqi (29); T. Miao (20), Y. Teng (18), J. Jihong (19), F. Yuncheng (17), W. Yongjun (37); Guilherme (12), Z. Gong (4), Y. Li (38), L. Tixiang (10); S. Wenjie (29).

Hebei FC

Form: WLLLL

The Han army was clearly on cloud nine when they defeated Shenzhen FC in their most recent match, edging them 2:0 and securing their first-ever clean sheet in 30 games played, breaking the Super League record for longest losing streak (23 straight defeats).

With two wins under their belt after 31 games played, they have now amassed 3 points in their last five matches, which realistically speaking are not results that warrant jubilation on their part since this has led them astray with their form, which has been characterized as a terrible run of form.

While it has been a challenging start to the season for them, they currently occupy 18th place at the bottom of the standings, which has been an unfortunate ordeal as their future in the Super League is looking quite bleak at the moment, and any intervention at this point will be pointless.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

J. Pang (34); Y. Zhang (24), J. Zhang (6), H. Luan (3); J. Liu (16), S. Xintao (17), Y. Gao (42), W. Liao (25); W. Yuren (19), G. Huaze (20), X. Yao (11).

Expert Betting Tips

Guangzhou City FC has been losing steam in their games for as long as memory can remember, which has led to disappointing results. However, that could all change if they manage to turn the tables and defeat their struggling opponents, boosting their confidence, which has been at an all-time low.

Hebei FC overcame tremendous setbacks to defeat Shenzhen FC and keep a clean sheet in their second Super League victory. It goes without saying that they'll be fighting hard to achieve a similar outcome in this match.

We won't discount Hebei FC's sense of confidence following their victory, but the oddsmakers are backing Guangzhou City FC in this match, and we fully side with them because the home team has a legitimate point to defend as they attempt to stay above the relegation zone. 

We expect the hosts to win this game, but there is little value in backing them in the full-time market. Instead, boosting the odds by having them score a total of 4 goals individually against a porous defense that has allowed 104 goals in 31 games should be more than enough to win this game.

• Total 1 - Over 3.5 for 2.02
• CS - Guangzhou City FC 5:0 Hebei FC for 9.50
• Goals - Over 4.5 for 2.26
