history of the war
In the first leg between these two teams, Dalian ended their opponents' nine-game losing streak with a 2-2 draw at home against Beijing Guoan with goals from Tesonev and Manzocchi. From a historical perspective, these two teams have met 13 times. Dalian is at a disadvantage with 2 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses. Beijing Guoan can be considered Dalian's biggest nemesis.
pre-tournament analysis
After the relegation success, Dalian had no pressure to score and could take it easy in the following matches. As the league is coming to an end, the team's injuries are getting worse. Facing Beijing Guoan, in terms of players, Lin Longchang has been suspended for four matches and Song Zhiwei is out due to calf strain or injury. Foreign aid Mamba has temporarily left the team and returned to Germany as he has something to do at home. It can be said that more than half of the team's starting lineup has been missing.
With consecutive away battles and an intensive schedule, will Director Xie opt for rotation? Can the young players play more games without relegation pressure? The team and Ning Hao have no chance to play this season, can the two players make their debut? Let's wait and see!
Pre-match press conference
Head coach Xie Hui and player Bosanjic attended the pre-match press conference of Dalian. Xie Hui said that Beijing Guoan team is a very strong and distinctive opponent. They have a very high winning percentage after the current head coach took over. In the first match, when we were behind, we beat the opponent in the last minute. From all positions, Beijing Guoan team is very strong. Tomorrow's away game will be a very high quality game. I hope to get a good result with some hard work.
We are preparing for this game like we always do, said Bosanjic. Beijing Guoan is a very strong team with good players, but we believe in ourselves, in the preparations we have been making and look forward to a good result tomorrow.
Opponent's recent history

After losing to Zhejiang in the last round, Beijing Guoan is seventh in the Chinese Super League with 49 points, three behind Zhejiang. It also qualified for the Asian Championship playoffs with six rounds left in the league. In terms of players, Beijing Guoan has no suspended players and the team's starting lineup is relatively intact. In the last round of matches, foreigner Adeben Lo was suspected to have a strain.
