Qingdao West Coast vs Zhejiang Professional FC Prediction: Momentum Still Burning Bright For The Green Giants

Qingdao West Coast will welcome Zhejiang Professional FC to the Qingdao West Coast University City Stadium in the 19th round of the Chinese Super League. 

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Qingdao West Coast vs. Zhejiang Professional FC, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Form: LLLLL

After 18 rounds, Qingdao West Coast is currently situated at the bottom of the table, occupying 16th place with 13 points accumulated. They are deadlocked on points, with 15th-placed Meizhou Hakka FC in the relegation zone, and are one point adrift of safety. 

In the previous round, Hisashi Kurosaki's team succumbed to a convincing 3-1 away defeat against Qingdao Hainiu FC in the Qingdao derby. Qingdao have been plagued with inconsistency in the past few weeks, recording five consecutive defeats and conceding a whopping 13 goals in the process. Their defense has primarily led to their demise this season, as they boast the second-worst defense in the league with 38 goals conceded thus far.

Form: WLLWL

Zhejiang Professional FC, on the other hand, is in contention for a top-four finish this season. Currently, they occupy 6th place with 28 points and have maintained a four-point cushion over 7th-placed Tianjin Teda, while they are six points adrift of fourth-placed Beijing Guoan. 

In the previous round, they played host to Meizhou Hakka FC at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center. Goals from Leonardo, Jean Kouassi, and Jin Cheng were more than sufficient to see them secure a decisive 4-0 victory. This comes after succumbing to a 3-1 away defeat against league leaders Shanghai Port FC, which extended their losing run in the league to two matches.

• Qingdao West Coast are currently on a seven-match winless run in the league.
• Zhejiang Professional FC have won five of their last eight matches in the Super League.
• Qingdao West Coast averages 0.89 goals per game when playing at home, and Zhejiang Professional FC averages 0.75 goals per game when playing away.

This will be the second meeting between these two sides in the Chinese Super League. In the previous fixture, Qingdao West Coast managed to secure a narrow 2-1 victory away from home. 

Qingdao West Coast are mired in a slump, and their current form spells trouble this season as they are on the brink of being relegated to the second tier. Their home form does not instill much confidence either, having gone seven matches without a win, recording five losses and two draws.

Zhejiang Professional FC, on the other hand, has also had unpleasant results on the road, as they are currently on a three-match losing streak. However, on paper, they have been the better side and are likely to get the better of their opponents in this impending encounter. 

Therefore, support the away side in the full-time market combined with the total of over 2.5 goals, which should suffice.

• Zhejiang Professional FC & Over 2.5 for 1.91
• Corners - Under 10 for 2.20
• Total - Over 3.5 for 2.06
