Match description
Dalian Zhixing holds a clear advantage in home metrics: they score 1.78 goals per match on average with an xG of 1.76 and record 4.78 shots on target, whereas Shandong Luneng average 1.33 goals away with xG 1.21 and 3.11 shots on target. The hosts also look stronger defensively at their stadium — they concede 1.44 goals per match on average and have 44% clean sheets, while the visitors concede 2.00 goals away and have only 11% clean sheets. Additionally, Dalian has never failed to score in home matches (FTS 0%), whereas Shandong have 33% of away games without scoring, which reduces their prospects against a demanding defense. On the other hand the visitors are on a very good scoring run — 14 goals in the last 5 matches (2.8 per match) versus the hosts’ 7 goals (1.4), so they can be dangerous offensively. Considering the higher shot volume (16.22 vs 11.11), higher xG (1.76 vs 1.21) and 67% home win rate for the hosts versus 44% away win rate for the visitors, I forecast a Dalian Zhixing victory.
