What to expect
We expect about 1.4 goals from Chongqing Tonglianglong and 1.0 from Dalian Yingbo, so Chongqing Tonglianglong come out ahead by a nose. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.
Chongqing Tonglianglong come into this on three straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.4 goals in total (xG 1.4-1.0), keeping it under more often than not (about 75%). Clear chances should be at a premium.
We put the chance of that landing at about 75 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.35, which works out at about 74 out of 100. The two sit close together, so this is a lean rather than a standout price.

One thing to watch
A goal against the run of play opens the game up, and a tight total can slip away fast. We make it about 75% and the price sits right on top of that, so there's little cushion if it turns.
