Guangzhou City vs Beijing Guoan Prediction

Beijing Guoan have been the more consistent side and are slight favorites to emerge triumphant on Sunday. Home advantage could, however, factor in Guangzhou City's favor, although their run of five games without a win does not offer much optimism.

We are backing the visitors to secure maximum points in a narrow victory with goals to be scored at both ends.
