Despite back-to-back defeats, the market still makes them the side to beat, and there are solid reasons for that stance. Meizhou already edged Foshan Nanshi 1-0 away earlier this season, while Foshan come into this Guangdong derby without a win in their last five, including four defeats. With home advantage and the stronger head-to-head signal, this looks like a good spot to back Meizhou to respond and take all three points.
