Football Bet of the Day: Defences to be broken in China

Chongqing Lifan v Henan
Friday 12:35

In Belgium last night, Charleroi came from behind to beat Kortrijk 2-1 and earn a place in the country's Europa League playoff final. They also earn our undying gratitude for helping to land Over 2.5 Goals.

Today we're on our way to China, where there are two Super League games kicking off Friday lunchtime (UK time). Each of Henan's first four away games of the new season have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we like the near-evens price on them making it five in a row at Chongqing Lifan.

Henan have scored eight times across those four games, while conceding seven times. Both teams have scored at least once in all four. Going back to the start of last season, the Red Devils have managed just two clean sheets from 19 away days.

Chongqing Lifan have conceded in four of the campaign's first six appearances at Chongqing Olympic Sports Centre and in 10/14 since Jordi Cruyff took charge. They start as favourites to win on Friday, but we fancy they'll need a few goals to make sure of their success.
