Before this round, Dalian Yingbo, a newly promoted horse, had an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 1 draw, leading the table together with Yunnan Yukun. The only draw came in the last round, when they shook hands with Foshan Southern Lions 2-2 on the road. Although they failed to win 5 in a row, the result is still acceptable considering the team chased 2 goals in the adversity of 0-2 down. This time back home, Dalian Yingbo must be looking forward to continue their unbeaten run and try to get back on the winning track.
Liaoning Ironmen, who shouted the slogan of transcendence at the beginning of the season, ranked 11th with 1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses and 5 points after 5 rounds, which is a bit low. But with a grueling four-game road trip to start the season, and a first-round away match against Chongqing Tongliang Dragons that damaged general Bai Zijian, the current results can't explain everything.
On a more subtle note, after returning to the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center in the last round, Liaoning Ironmen earned their first win of the season by defeating Suzhou Dongwu 2-0. This victory will undoubtedly boost the morale of the entire team. In this round of match against Dalian Yingbo, Liaoning Ironmen are still eager for the victory. They will go all out for their first consecutive win of the season to speed up their pursuit of the Supercluster. In this situation, a fierce battle is inevitable.
It is worth mentioning that after the dissolution of the Dalian Ren team, which galloped in the Chinese Super League last season, many players joined these two teams, such as Yan Xiangguan, Fei Yu, Lv Peng, Shang Yin, Lin Longchang and so on. Now, they should be each other's masters and become each other's rivals. If we meet again in China A, we must have a different feeling in our hearts.
So how will this game go? We'll see.
