Guangzhou Evergrande is the top team in the Chinese Super League. They like to attack on offense, but the defense has allowed three goals in its last two road games, as well as surrendering at least one goal in its last four road matches. Two road games ago they played a 2-2 DRAW at a Dalian Pro squad that has a losing record, the third-worst team in Group A. Now they travel out on the road to face the third-ranked team in Group A. Shandong Luneng (5-2-3) has had a strong start with the top-ranked defense (8 goals allowed in 10 games) in the entire 16-team CSL. Shandong Luneng has a winning record in its last seven home matches surrendering just six goals while tallying 11 times. Shandong Luneng beat Guangzhou Evergrande, 1-0, last month in the most recent clash, so back home field. Take Shandong Luneng on the moneyline.
