Shandong Taishan vs Chengdu Rongcheng Predictions

Goals can usually be relied upon when Chengdu hits the road. Over 2.5 goals is my only choice for Friday's CFA Cup contest.

Stats

Shandong Taishan have seen over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 5 matches
Shandong Taishan have seen over 2.5 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches against Chengdu Rongcheng
Chengdu Rongcheng have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 8 matches
Chengdu Rongcheng have seen over 2.5 goals in 8 of their last 9 away matches

Head to Head

Shandong and Chengdu will meet for the ninth time on Friday. Shandong leads the H2H with four wins. Chengdu picked up three victories while one game finished level.

Shandong Taishan Form

Shandong Taishan turn their attention to CFA Cup business after a 1-0 CSL reversal at Tianjin last weekend. Alberto Quiles's first-half goal condemned Choi Kang-Hee's side to a first defeat in four matches.

A downturn in form has seen the hosts lose four of their last eight matches. They had lost just one of nine previous fixtures.

High-scoring outcomes have been frequent at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium. An average of three goals per game were scored in Shandong's last seven home fixtures.

Shandong Taishan Team News

Head coach Kang-Hee has a fully fit squad available for Friday's CFA Cup contest. Valeri Qazaishvili is a cert to feature, with the in-form Georgian providing 12 goal contributions (eight goals, four assists) in 16 CSL appearances this season.

Chengdu Rongcheng Form

Chengdu make the trip to Jinan after their impressive 12-game unbeaten run was brought to a halt with a disappointing 3-2 defeat at Henan last weekend. Despite leading twice, Seo Jung-Won's side slipped to a rare loss.

Rongcheng have been particularly strong on the road, picking up five wins while losing just one of seven previous CSL away fixtures.

Jung-Wong's men are rarely involved in low-scoring outcomes, particularly on their travels. An average of 3.12 goals per game were scored in their last eight road contests.

Chengdu Rongcheng Team News

Head coach Jung Won is unlikely to make too many changes to his first XI on Friday. The visitors have no reported injury issues.

Shihao Wei is set to continue as the spearhead in the Rongcheng attack. The 30-year-old has nine goal contributions (six goals, three assists) in 13 CSL appearances this season.

Verdict

Shandong Taishan v Chengdu Rongcheng

Goals seem likely in what should prove a back-and-forth cup tie on Friday. I'm putting my money on over 2.5 goals scored at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
