On November 8, all nine matches of the 24th round of the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League ended. With Wuhan Sanzhen and Shandong Taishan both winning, and Guangzhou City and Guangzhou both losing, the Super League championship and relegation situation is getting closer and closer.
In this round, Taishan won 2-0 against Shanghai Shenhua, and Sanzhen beat Beijing Guoan by the same score. Thus, after 24 rounds of matches, Sanzhen and Taishan still got 59 points and the lead is still 59 points, as much as 13 points ahead of the third-place Shanghai Port, which means that this season's Super League championship model basically consists of these two teams. From the performance of the latest round, Taishan's performance is more stable, but with Korean foreign aid Sun Junho leaving the team to prepare for the World Cup, the strength is bound to be affected to some extent. In addition, in terms of schedule, Taishan faces Harbor and Guoan in the next few rounds, and except for Taishan and Zhejiang, the Sanzhen team's opponents are basically ranked in the middle of the pack. The combination of various factors also complicates the championship situation for both teams.
In addition to winning the title, the relegation situation in this season's Chinese Super League has become tighter after losing Guangzhou and Guangzhou City in this round. Looking at the table, Hebei is at the bottom with 0 points and relegation is not in doubt. As for the other two relegated teams, Guangzhou, Canton and Wuhan Changjiang are likely to emerge.
After this round, Cheung Kong got 18 points, Guangzhou got 15 points and Canton got 13 points. Among them, Guangzhou team is currently in bad shape, having suffered 11 rounds. However, Cheung Kong have their own problems, which means that they are likely to be deducted points by the FA again for failing to resolve the wage arrears issue according to the timetable. Therefore, relatively speaking, the relegation situation of Guangzhou City Team, which is currently in the bottom three of the table, is relatively optimistic.
