Another game closely related to the trend of the Super League is Heilongjiang Bingcheng, seventh at the halfway point, hosting Nanjing fourth. This battle is the second of six consecutive home games for Heilongjiang Bingcheng. Against the backdrop of a 1-2 defeat against Sichuan Jiuniu in the previous round, they obviously don't want to suffer back-to-back defeats at home, so they'll be playing for their rivals.
Nanjing City is undefeated for 9 consecutive rounds. The morale is even higher after beating Liaoning Shenyang City 4-0 at home in the last round. In addition, they have recently brought in internal and external reinforcements such as Ducheng and Traore to further strengthen. This time, they traveled north to challenge an opponent who won 2-0 in the first round, and must be aiming for 3 points again.
Qingdao West Coast's other team hosted Jiangxi Lushan. Considering the opponent was busy with relegation and lost 0-1 in the first round, Qingdao West Coast's only goal was to continue to get 3 points. It is worth mentioning that in order to prepare for this battle, Qingdao West Coast arranged a substitute lineup to start in the fourth round of the just-concluded FA Cup, choosing to give up strategically, and was eventually eliminated 1-4 by Beijing Guoan.
Jiangxi Lushan are only two points ahead of the relegation zone and will have to let go and fight for the best. New foreign striker Mandy Lauren will give them a stronger impact.
In the relegation camp, top-ranked Wuxi Wuhu will continue their push for their first win of the season with a promotion showdown against Dongguan Guanlian. Compared to the 0-1 defeat in the first round, Wuxi Wuhou has improved with the addition of foreigners such as Gordic and Mladenovic. They will play each match as a battle of life and death.
Dongguan Union, currently ranked 11th, has seen a steady rise in overall strength since the introduction of former international player Zhao Mingjian and other powerful players. Recently, they have been undefeated for four consecutive rounds, defeating Guangxi Pingguo Ha Rang and Jinan Xingzhou. They will also be looking for 3 points in this round.
Shanghai Jiading Huilong, ranked 15th, recently won 1 and drew 2. Before this round, they were only 2 points behind Jiangxi Lushan and saw the hope of escaping the relegation zone. This time, they hosted Dandong Tengyue, who gave the sword 3 points after a 1-1 handshake in the first round.
Before the match, they had accumulated 14 and 17 points respectively and were ranked 13th., Liaoning Shenyang City's 12th match with Guangzhou is the key competition in this round. In the last round, Liaoning Shenyang City's coach Duan Xin slapped the referee Chen Hao and will definitely be severely punished with a ban. In this case, Liaoning Shenyang City's technical and tactical play and field command will be challenged. Starting from this round, Guangzhou will play three consecutive away games. Facing relatively weak opponents, they must go all out for victory.
In the other match, Suzhou Dongwu and Yanbian Longding are separated by one point and one row for a jam-packed showdown worth six points. This is the second of three consecutive matches at home for Yanbian Longding. They remain unbeaten at home after a 2-2 draw against Qingdao West Coast in the previous round. This time, they will continue to be undefeated at least. After Delgado's introduction, Suzhou Dongwu's fighting strength has been improved again. This time, they are not willing to return home empty-handed.
