China football fans — Guangzhou could be the stars of their own show in China today

Tobias Gourlay's going to Guangzhou and hoping to catch a positive result for the hometown team

Guangzhou FC v Dalian Yifang
Wednesday 12:30

In Argentina last night, Patronato and Argentinos Juniors drew 0-0. Our handicap bet on the hosts gives us half a win on that result, with the other half of our stake also returned.

It's a fast turnaround today as we're headed to China for Guangzhou's Super League clash with Dalian Yifang. The visitors are odds-on favourites, but we reckon the hosts could get something out of this one too.

Guangzhou are a disappointing W3-D0-L6 through the last nine rounds of the league. However, the Tigers strengthen to W3-D0-L2 against teams in the wrong half of the table. Last time out they thrashed 13th-placed Shenzhen 4-1. Since 2018 they have won this particular fixture 3/3 times by a combined 8-1.

Fourteenth-placed Dalian are W2-D5-L5 this term. With only two wins from 12 on their record, we'll go against them and back the hosts in the Double Chance market.
