What to expect
We expect about 2.6 goals from Beijing Guoan and 1.4 from Yunnan Yukun, so Beijing Guoan come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 4.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Beijing Guoan come into this on four straight wins. Yunnan Yukun come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Over 2.5 goals. This should be an open game: we make it around 4.0 goals between the two (xG 2.6-1.4), landing about 74% of the time on these numbers. Both sides carry a threat, so the goals should follow.
We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.27, which works out at about 79 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

One thing to watch
If one side settles for what they have, or the game turns cagey, the goals can dry up in a hurry. The price is shorter than our own read of about 74%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
