September 14, 2024 19:35 BST Beijing Guoan will challenge Chengdu Rongcheng on the road in a match that has attracted a lot of attention from fans. In the first match between the two teams this season, Guoan defeated Rongcheng 2:1 at home. However, it's hard to say whether Guoan will be able to come back from this away match.
Chengdu Rongcheng has been in a very strong form this season, with 16 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in 24 matches in the Chinese Super League, and are sitting at the 3rd place in the table. In the last 6 rounds of matches, they have 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and are in good shape. Rongcheng used 4-2-3-1 formation, the whole team made 45 assists and scored 56 goals, with an average of 2.3 goals per game, the attacking power is very strong. The front line of Palacios, Felipe and Romulo will be a severe test for Guoan's defense.
Guoan is also doing well this season, currently ranking 4th in the table with 12 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses. However, the team has 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 rounds, and their form is fluctuating. Guoan's formation is 4-4-2, with 31 assists and 42 goals, averaging 1.8 goals per game, so they have some attacking ability. However, Guoan's defense conceded an average of 1.2 goals per game, which is a concern. 24 rounds later, Rongcheng scored 0.5 goals more and conceded 0.2 goals less than Guoan, with an average goal difference of 0.7, which is a better overall performance than Guoan.
In this match, Guoan will probably adopt a more defensive strategy, while Rongcheng will probably continue to attack. Both sides are likely to break through, but Rongcheng, the stronger overall team, is expected to overwhelm Guoan by 1 goal at home.
