My Prediction
Wuhan Three Towns by 1Looking at this game of near 50-50 proportions is like trying to separate grains of sand. But let’s dive in, shall we? Wuhan Three Towns, got Pulian Shao in the net - not really a blockade considering he hasn't registered a single save this season. What's he doing back there, filing his taxes? Conversely, Qingdao Hainiu's goalkeeper Pengfei Mu, has already put down 2 saves. Could make the difference if this turns into a shootout, but let's be honest, with these offenses, that's as likely as a snowball's chance in a toaster.
Looking at the on-field talent, Wuhan are sporting the likes of Alexandru Tudorie, who threw in a goal last month while maintaining a 52.9 pass accuracy – that's like flipping a coin everytime he gets the ball. Joining Tudorie is Park Ji-soo, quite a ball handler with 88.9 accurate pass %.
Qingdao Hainiu, on the other hand, have Liu Junshuai, who seems to have found the back of the net once recently, along with Elvis Sarić who apparently thinks he's playing soccer rather than football, passing the ball more than shooting with 73.8 accurate pass %.
Past matchups show Wuhan Town Three having the slight edge against Qingdao Hainiu with three close contests, two of which went in Wuhan's favor. In the regular season records, Wuhan Three Towns seems to have a slightly more shining record of 3 wins against Qingdao’s single triumph. There’s a noticeable difference in the loss count as well, with Qingdao carrying a little heavier baggage of 7 losses to Wuhan’s 6.
Lately, Qingdao Hainiu seems to be favoring draws, while Wuhan Three Towns seems to have realized that the point is to WIN games, not lose or draw them. So, the smart money's on Wuhan Three Towns. But by much? Well, I wouldn't bet my house on it.
