Shenzhen vs Dalian
Qingdao Hainiu, the promoted team that Shenzhen won 2-1 in the first round of the tournament, have since gone five rounds without a win. Currently, they are ranked second last in the league with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses after scoring 6 goals and conceding 11. In the last round of matches, Shenzhen lost 1-3 to Shenhua at home, which cast a shadow on their relegation road. The team's style of play is too monotonous, while the offense relies solely on the individual abilities of Achim Pang and Alessandrini. If these two players are not in good form, the future of Shenzhen could be very pessimistic. Their opponents, Dalian Ren, are not in a better situation. The team has also won only one game and is currently ranked 10th. The team's offense is not weak, but the defense is dragging them down. In the last game, star Lin Liangming finally scored and his form has picked up. He is naturally the key figure for Shenzhen to watch. In addition, veteran Yan Xiangguan continued his hot feet. He has scored 3 goals so far and is tied for the top spot on the scorer's list. He is also an important point of attack for Dalian people.
Qingdao Hainiu vs Meizhou Hakka
Qingdao Hainiu three consecutive losses ushered in the challenge of Meizhou Hakka, they are currently third from bottom with 1 win, 1 draw, 4 losses, 7 goals and 11 goals, defensive problems have become the reason for Hainiu's low, they have 2 goals more than Zhejiang, in the last two games, Hainiu conceded two goals, counterattacks, it seems that if they don't fall behind they won't play, the team's offense basically relies on counterattacks, Kang Gua and Tabek shocked the opponents with their speed, it's a single but great threat. The Meizhou Hakka team played a classic goal battle in the last round. They defeated Changchun Yatai 4-2. Currently, they are in seventh place with 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. The good news is that central midfielder Kosovic has finally recovered from his injury and directed the team's offensive drama. If there are no surprises, he will surely get the first place in this game. The bad news is that the high center forward Lobzanidze hasn't found his form yet, but maybe he has gained some rewards against the Manatees' iron formation.
Chengdu Rongcheng vs Changchun Yatai
Chengdu continues to face Changchun Yatai at home. In the last round of matches, they defeated Taishan 2-2. Currently, they are ranked third with 3 wins and 3 draws scoring 10 goals and conceding 6. Chengdu also has the highest offense in the Chinese Super League. The front four of Eckerson, Felipe, Romulo and Jin You is on fire. Compared to Yatai, Chengdu Rongcheng must be the dominant side. Changchun Yatai lost 2-4 to Meizhou Hakka in the last round of matches. It is currently in fifth place with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Goalkeeper Wu Ya Ke used to give gifts continuously. He obviously had problems with his mentality. Chen Yang changed the game in the middle. It's likely that he won't play in this game. Fortunately, striker Leonardo continued to score goals. He has scored in three consecutive games, so he is also the most threatening player in the Ateneo team. In addition, we can't ignore Zui's organizational skills. After all, both of his goals are related to him.
Cangzhou Lions vs Shandong Taishan
Cangzhou Lions escaped the relegation zone with an undefeated record in the last three rounds and moved up to 11th place in the table. The team's strikers, Oscar and Locadia, scored two goals and are impactful and fast. They could be fatal to the Taishan defense. On the other hand, Taishan's team doesn't seem to come out of an invincible circle after earning a humiliating record for the worst start in the Chinese Super League. Chengdu got one point from a 2-2 draw in their last match and are now in the same position as Cangzhou, so this match is crucial for both teams. It was Taishan's fourth consecutive away game and there were obvious fitness problems for the players. Even Sun Junho had to be replaced early to rest. Fortunately, Fellaini returned to form this season, scoring three goals. Notably, center back Jadson was re-injured after an injury that has become a major concern for the backline. Fabio had to plan ahead.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers vs Henan
Jinmen Tigers remained undefeated after a 1-1 draw away to Guoan in the final round. They are in fourth place with 2 wins and 4 draws. The team's foreigners Beric and Rosa have performed well in their last few matches, and international player Barton even killed the quartet. Barton is tied for the top spot on the scorer's list after scoring three goals against his old club Guoan. Their opponents Henan are frustrated not to have won their first victory of the season, they are also the only team not to have won, Henan's problem is offense, in six rounds they have scored only three goals, the Kunshan duo Feng Bo Yuan + Kovic have not continued their performance in the first division, if the game is scoreless Henan could fall into the relegation zone.
Zhejiang vs Shanghai Seaport
Zhejiang finally earned their first win of the season in the last round. They beat Nantong Zhiyun 2-1 on the road. Striker Gaudi broke out in a big way and scored twice. These two goals are very wonderful. I believe he will get the first place in this game. However, Harbor's strength is obviously higher than the current Zhejiang team. It seems unrealistic for Zhejiang to get two consecutive wins at home. The only advantage they can seize is the crisis of Harbor team's general discord. In the last round, Seaport foreigner Vargas and head coach Javier sprayed garbage on the sidelines and almost fought. Although Seaport was eager to calm down after the game both inside and outside, the repercussions were huge, especially in the locker room. It's not clear if Vargas will be on the playing roster for this game. Even if he gets a chance to play, it's questionable whether he'll be able to execute according to Harbour's tactics. If Zhejiang catches Harbor.
Beijing Guoan vs Nantong Zhiyun
In this round, Guoan continues to face Nantong Jiyun at home. The Imperial Guard are currently ranked eighth with one win, four draws and one loss scoring five goals and six goals. The four draws are also the highest number of draws in the Chinese Super League so far. From the start of the season until now, Guoan has yet to get their first win at home in the new industrial stadium, which shows how much pressure the Guoan fighters are under at home. The team's foreign aid Ademi is not performing well, Zhang Yuning can't find his form after coming back from injury, and the main lineup is yet to be determined, so the imperial guards are facing a lot of problems. Currently, Nantong Zhiyun is ranked 12th in the table, with a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. The team's main offense is relying on two foreigners in front of them, Romario and Castillo. If they can get some points on the road, or even win all three points, they will overtake their opponents and possibly force Guoan manager Stanley to face the pressure of being dismissed.
