If you’re backing this one, here’s the no-bull take.
Shanghai SIPG at 5.95 to win feels tight given their inconsistencies in the Super League this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re riding luck — analytics guys would avoid.
Chengdu Better City’s 1.46 line intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his recent funk.
The wise guys’ll likely poke at the Draw 4.2 — these big games often follow scripts, and pressure can stifle attacking flow.
