Meizhou Hakka will challenge Wuhan Changjiang in the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on November 4 at 19:30 hours. After two consecutive losses, the team desperately needs to improve its scoring efficiency in front of the goal and look to play a nice turnaround against an opponent that has lost eight consecutive games.
Since mid-September, the Meizhou team has managed only one win, one draw and four losses in six rounds of league matches. During this period, the only victory came when the Guangdong Derby team beat Guangzhou 3-1 and dropped from fourth to ninth place in the rankings. The visit to Wuhan Changjiang saw the Meizhou team play the last of four consecutive matches. After playing in consecutive low temperatures in Dalian and Changchun, I believe the team will be more adapted to the weather conditions in Wuhan.
Top scorer Vukanovic, who was injured in the final round, is expected to recover from his injury. An injury and a stoppage in the first two rounds reconfirmed that the Serbian winger is an indispensable archer on the offensive end of the Meizhou team. With neat foreigners and gradually adapting to the atmosphere of the Chinese Super League away from home, Meizhou is fully capable of stopping the losing streak.
Wuhan Changjiang is one of the worrying clubs in the CSL at the moment. This comes after players took to social media to publicly demand wages. This team has started the season on a high note. At the beginning of the season, it had won three consecutive matches but was short of funds. With chronic wage arrears, the team is in danger and there are even rumors that the club will be dissolved at the end of the year. After being defeated by Dalian Ren in the last round, Wuhan Changjiang is on the longest losing streak of eight consecutive losses. It is currently only two points ahead of the relegation zone and is in a precarious relegation situation. The players have no hope for the future of the club, which is undoubtedly more deadly than a lack of technical and tactical confidence.
The departure of Bruno, a Brazilian foreigner and key midfielder, is seen as a turning point in the sharp decline of Wuhan Changjiang's performance. The player played 14 games in the Chinese Super League this season. Wuhan's record was five wins, two draws and seven losses. The team lost seven consecutive matches after leaving the team due to a wage arrears incident. Bruno has reportedly returned to Wuhan and ended his isolation. If this war can return in time, it will certainly be good news for Wuhan to stop the eight-game losing streak.
