Now, the Barracuda Bay Stadium in Dalian has set a new record, raising the attendance record for the Central League to 56,595. However, Dalian Yibo was defeated by Shijiazhuang Kung Fu in this match, failing to widen the gap between them and the teams behind them, which makes the overtaking still in doubt. Dalian Yibo was in a good position before, but with two draws and one loss in the last three rounds, it has been questioned as "stepping on the brakes".
Dalian Yingbo still has 7 league matches left to play this season and 3 home matches to go, with the potential to set another Central League attendance record. The current overtaking situation of Dalian Yingbo is very good, and the probability of final overtaking is also very high.
All in all, Dalian Yingbo will play Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final round, when it will be a home game. If the beyond suspense is pushed to the final round, the Barracuda Bay stadium is likely to take the lead again. But for Dalian fans, it's more exciting but relatively risky to stay until the final round, and it seems safer to overtake early.
Dalian Yingbo's penultimate home game is against Nanjing City on October 12, the 27th round of the season. Currently, Dalian Yingbo is five points ahead of third-place Guangzhou. If it wins all the next three rounds, it is expected to move up early in the 27th round. If Dalian Yingbo is expected to overtake early in the 27th round, the match is likely to set another China A attendance record.
