Guangzhou Evergrande vs Jiangsu Suning Predictions

• Both teams scored in 13 of Jiangsu Suning’s last 14 away league games.
• Both teams registered in each of the last three meetings between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning .
• Guangzhou Evergrande lost just four of their last 31 Chinese Super League home matches.

Goals at either end anticipated

Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning have both come out of the blocks quickly in the new Chinese Super League campaign, and ahead of their clash on Thursday, the clubs occupy the top two places in Group A.

With a record of four wins from five so far, Guangzhou have the edge in terms of points, however, having failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last three assignments, Evergrande’s defence is starting to look a little suspect.

Jiangsu Suning – who scored six times in just two away games so far this term – have the tools to tear holes in the host’s rearguard this week, though Cosmin Olăroiu’s charges will almost certainly struggle to keep out the Super League’s top scorers at the other end.

It’s worth noting that both teams found the net in each of the last three meetings between Guangzhou Evergrande and Jiangsu Suning, and everything looks in place for a similar outcome when they renew acquaintances on Thursday.

Remarkably, goals were plundered at either end in 13 of Jiangsu Suning’s last 14 away league contests in a sequence stretching all the way back to April last year, and the both teams to score market looks an attractive option at the prices quoted again here.

Our correct score prediction backs Evergrande to eventually carve out a 2-1 win however. Suning conceded two or more goals in four of their last seven matches on the road, and with players like Brazilian duo Paulinho and Talisca in tow, Guangzhou have the quality to take advantage.
