The 24th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) will usher in a much-anticipated matchup at 19:35 p.m. Beijing time on July 21st.
Beijing Guoan (soccer team)
will be hosting the unbeaten team of
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
. Recently, Beijing Guoan's form has slipped, with two consecutive rounds of losses, and is now ranked fourth in the Chinese Super League (CSL) with 34 points from 10 wins, four draws and five losses, and the points gap with leader Shanghai Harbor has reached 17 points, which is basically out of contention for the title of this season's Chinese Super League (CSL).
Against this backdrop, Beijing Guoan's realistic goal is to secure a spot in the top four, especially considering that fifth-placed Shandong Luneng is right behind them, just three points behind. Therefore, against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in this round, Beijing Guoan will have to fight for a win to avoid Shandong Luneng closing the points gap. Head coach Luis Suarez will be sending his strongest team to try to win all three points at home.
In goal, Han Jiaqi will continue to guard the goal. At the back, Suarez is expected to continue with a four-back formation, with Li Lei, Ngadeu, Mamadou Traore and He Yupeng expected to start. In midfield, Li Ke and Ji Zhongguo will form a double back, while Zhang Xizhe may return from injury to serve as the core of the organization up front. Up front, Fabio Abreu will lead the line, partnering Lin Liangming and Yang Liyu in attack.
All things considered, Beijing Guoan's starting lineup for this match against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers is likely to be: Han Jiaqi; Li Lei, Ngadeu, Mamadou Traore, He Yupeng; Li Ke, Ji Zhongguo, Zhang Xunzhe; Lin Liangming, Yang Liyu, Fabio Abreu. Facing this crucial battle, Beijing Guoan will go all out to try to take down their opponents at home and solidify their position as one of the top four teams in the Chinese Super League.
