Meizhou Hakka vs Guangzhou Evergrande Prediction: Farewell To 11 Years Of Dominance!

For their 34th matchday, Guangzhou Evergrande will travel to Wuhua Olympic Sports Center Huitang Stadium to face Meizhou Hakka. 

Will the South China Tigers create a lasting impression in the Wuhua Olympic Sports Center Huitang Stadium by winning, or will a depressing road loss leave a mark on them?

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

Meizhou Hakka

Form: LWLLW

Things had to start over in terms of getting back on track after they forfeited a recent match against Shandong Taishan and dropped three points. This came after a 1:0 road victory over Chengdu Rongcheng to boost their confidence after witnessing a two-match losing streak.

Their recent form has been poor, as they have only earned six points in their last five games. Six goals have been conceded during that time, demonstrating how unreliable their defense is. But those aren't their only issues; they've also had trouble scoring goals, managing just six in that time.

They currently sit in 10th place in the rankings with 46 points, only a point ahead of Dalian Pro in 11th place, and face a 3 point deficit in their bid for an 8th place finish.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Y. Hou (22); W. Wei (21), R. Dugalic (20), L. Huo (18), Y. Chaosheng (16); Y. Hongbo (10), T. Yue (29); G. Chen (37), Rodrigo Henrique (25), W. Zh.W. (57); Vukanovic (9).

Guangzhou Evergrande

Form: LLLDD

The South China Tigers enter this game off a discouraging 4:1 home loss to Changchun Yatai, displaying an underwhelming performance that saw them extend their Super League losing streak to three games.

Although extending their losing streak to three games has only been the tip of the iceberg, their current winless streak of 20 games and the fact that they have only picked up 8 points during that time speak volumes about how poor their form has been of late.

Although the eight-time champions enjoyed great success in the past years, this season hasn't gone as well for them as they've performed below expectations since the bagging, and it's clear as day that their 11 years of dominance in the Super League have finally come crashing down as they are headed for the gutters.

Having only 17 points and occupying 17th place from 33 games played, it's clear they've had their fair share of poor performances this season, which have come with a high price to pay as they are the third team to be relegated alongside Wuhan Zall and Hebei FC.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

S. Huo (32); Y. Li (6), D. Yan (15), Y. Liyu (17), W. Shihao (7); A. Asqer (22), Z. Zhang (14), J. Li (23), L. Liu (71); B. Xu (41), K. Tan (40).

Expert Betting Tips

Guangzhou Evergrande have come to terms with the harsh reality that their time in the Super League has unfortunately come to an end as relegation has found its way inside their safehouse despite having tried by all means to elevate themselves to be a competitive side among fellow adversaries. There is no way to avoid the inevitable, and since their fate has long been written, there is no reason to expect much from their performance in this game. It is past time for compensation.

Without a doubt, Milan Ristić's team will restock their confidence booth with a convincing win in this match against a team that has been struggling with consistency for the majority of the remaining games of the season and might as well least expect this to be a one-sided contest. 

As such, we are inclined to think they'll sign-off their season with a convincing victory through the Asian handicap of -1.5.

• Asian Handicap - Meizhou Hakka -1.5 for 2.42
• Goals - Over 3 for 1.83
• Corners - Under 8.5 for 1.84
