What to expect
We expect about 2.1 goals from Chengdu Rongcheng and 0.9 from Liaoning Tieren, so Chengdu Rongcheng come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Our pick: Under 4.5 goals. We make this around 3.0 goals (xG 2.1-0.9), so the line leaves room: it takes five or more to beat us, keeping it under more often than not (about 84%).
We put the chance of that landing at about 84 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.37, which works out at about 73 out of 100. That gap is the whole reason this is on the site: we rate it more likely than the price does, and the price looks good to us because of it.

One thing to watch
One end-to-end spell, or a defensive mistake, and the goals can pile up before either side settles.
