Liaoning Tieren vs Shandong Taishan

Liaoning Tieren vs Shandong Taishan, the hosts chase a goal The Chinese Super League serves up a meeting between Liaoning Tieren and Shandong Taishan. The hosts, a lower-mid-table side, have nonetheless shown they can score (around 20 goals in the opening rounds). Shandong, for their part, are a side of very open games: they score plenty but concede just as much, with a fairly high number of goals conceded. The tip under review concerns the chance that Liaoning, at home, score at least once. A generous away defence Shandong have shown a far-from-watertight backline, and Liaoning, in front of their own crowd, will have the chance to take advantage. In a league with a high scoring average, close to three a game, the idea of a home goal looks solid. As always, the available table is updated to a few weeks ago and details on lineups and absentees remain limited. Our read Liaoning's scoring ability and Shandong's defensive fragility support the idea of at least one home goal. I'd put the probability around 72%. The main risk is a below-par attacking display from Liaoning or an unusual defensive day from Shandong. The confidence is fair.
