According to the goal scoring data, after 11 rounds of matches, the two teams scored 20 and 14 goals respectively, but both suffered only 8 goals conceded. This shows that both teams have excellent defense performance, while Chongqing Tongliang Dragons have slightly better offense ability.
In terms of the starting lineup and scoring, it was evident that Chongqing Tongliang Dragons had a lot of offense. Foreigners Tabek and Lescano scored 3 goals each, while young players Xiang Yuwang, Song Pan and Li Zhenquan and other U21 players joined hands to score 11 goals. Specifically, Xiang Yuwang and Song Pan contributed 5 and 4 goals respectively.
On the Shijiazhuang side, veterans have played a more important role. Foreigner Messi has scored seven goals, while Mladen has scored three and 40-year-old former national team player Wang Song has scored two.
In this case, these two teams will meet in a difficult situation, and the strength of each other's offense and defense will be put to the test, especially with the much-anticipated competition between young players and experienced veterans in the same game.
One of the major highlights of the game is that four teams have now scored more than 20 points. Apart from Chongqing Tongliang Dragons and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu, there are two other teams at the top and second place of the table, namely Yunnan Yukun and Dalian Yingbo. Besides Shijiazhuang Kung Fu, Yunnan Yukun, Dalian Yingbo and Chongqing Tongliang Dragons are the newest teams in this season's Central League, and they have been steadily staying in the top three positions in the table. So, can Shijiazhuang Kung Fu break this special situation after this round of matches?
Recently, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team has achieved an excellent record of 3 consecutive wins, and in their last match, they even beat Nanjing City Team, who have been in a position to reach the Super League in consecutive seasons, by a score of 3-1. It can be said that under the leadership of new head coach Jangovic, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team is steadily improving, and they are looking forward to continue to show their strength when they face Chongqing Tongliang Dragons on the road this time.
Chongqing Tongliang's last away match was a 2-2 draw with fellow promotion favorites Dalian Yingbo, keeping their undefeated record for 8 matches. Returning home to face their direct rivals in this round, they will surely hope to get all three points.
There is notable that both sides have not lost any of their strong team conversations so far this season. Among them, Chongqing Tongliang Dragons' only loss so far was 0-1 on the road to current No. 9 Qingdao Red Lions, who are also a newly promoted team, while Shijiazhuang Kung Fu lost two games on the road: first 1-3 against current No. 6 Guangzhou, and then 0-1 to No. 7 Yanbian Longding.
