Cangzhou vs Shenzhen Analysis

The new Chinese Super League season is in full swing as 11th-place Cangzhou travel to Shenzhen on Friday looking to keep their unbeaten streak intact.

Shenzhen, meanwhile, comes off a tough 90th-minute loss against Meizhou Hakka on Monday and will look to quickly bounce back here on Friday against the Mighty Lions.

Despite alternating recent head-to-head results, Shenzhen has owned this fixture at home of late beating Cangzhou in each of their last three meetings in this venue by a combined 7-2 aggregate scoreline.

Cangzhou Struggling Offensively

The Cangzhou Mighty Lions have struggled immensely up front to start the season as their three goals scored so far to open up this campaign has flattered to deceive.

Cangzhou has been out-shot 50-20 over their three games this year and own the league’s third-worst xG rating this season also at just 0.18 xG per game on average.

Acheampong Looks To Get Back On The Scoresheet

Jack of all trades Ghanian international Frank Acheampong will look to get back on the scoresheet for Shenzhen in this one after putting two goals past Chengdu Rongcheng FC in his opening home game.

That puts Acheampong just one goal behind Changchun Yatai’s attacking midfielder Tan Long and two goals behind Brazilian international Fernando Karanga in the early race for this year’s Golden Boot title.

Cangzhou vs Shenzhen Prediction

We’re taking the Both Teams to Score – No prop on Friday.

As poor as Cangzhou has looked up front over recent games, Shenzhen haven’t been a whole lot better with the southeastern club registering an xG per game of just 0.59 and have averaged just 9.5 total goal attempts over their two home games this season.

We expect that to continue here and we like the Both Teams to Score – No prop between the Cangzhou Mighty Lions and Shenzhen FC on Friday over in the Chinese Super League.
