⭐️ Editor's Pick
It is hard to imagine Yunnan changing their style in a match like this. The hosts already showed in the first leg that they can open up Dalian's defence, and at home they will almost certainly spend most of the game in attack. Especially with Maritu leading the line, having a very strong season and remaining the main weapon in the final third.
Dalian Yingbo are capable of creating their own chances, but the visitors usually play considerably more cautiously and tend to adapt to how the game unfolds. If Yunnan manage to impose a high tempo again, the pressure on the opposition's defence will be sustained for almost the entire match. The statistics back up this scenario too: the hosts have scored at least two goals in four of their last five games. So the most interesting option here looks like Yunnan Yukun individual total over 1.5 goals.
