Guangzhou City will face tonight's Chinese Super League leader Wuhan Sanzhen on Nov. 3, with Guangzhou City in better form lately. The match will need to see if the team's defense can withstand the pressure, says Yangcheng Evening News.
After Guangzhou City's 4-0 win over "vice-champion" Hebei in the last round, the team is only two points away from Wuhan Changjiang, the fourth-last team in the table, and has seen the dawn of relegation. The team's good momentum of one win and three draws in the past four rounds hinges on the defense's ability to show hardness.
The three Wuhan towns lost in the final round, mainly because Malcolm and Davidson were besieged at the front. For the first time since the 22 rounds of the league, the team suffered a zero-goal game. Chengdu Chengdu made a good demonstration for Guangzhou Cities, but relatively speaking, Guangzhou Cities' backline is less hard. These two teams met for the first time this season and Guangzhou City lost the game 0-3. Now Tang Miao has returned to guard the center back position. Whether the team's defense can withstand the pressure is the key to grabbing points in this battle.
