Amidst the fierce competition in Tangshan, 15th-ranked Beijing North Sports University is fully engaged in their relegation battle, as they are about to battle 6th-ranked Shijiazhuang Kung Fu. Although Shijiazhuang Kung Fu is a newcomer to the Chinese League One, they are just as strong as the Chinese Super League teams. Currently, except for Shanghai Jiading Huilong and Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear, which are ranked 13th and 14th respectively, the other three teams Qingdao Hainiu, Shijiazhuang Kungfu and Qingdao Qingdao Youth Island are all firmly in the top eight. Qingdao Hainiu, in particular, is sitting in the third place, becoming the number one favorite to overtake the Super League. Therefore, if Beijing North Sport University wants to steal points from Shijiazhuang Kungfu, the difficulty should not be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the other highlight game will be played soon, Qingdao Hainiu will face Sichuan Jiuniu. These two teams have been shouting the slogan of "Super League" at the beginning of the season. After 17 rounds of fierce battle, halfway through the war, Qingdao Hainiu with 12 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, scored 36 goals and lost 14 goals, with 39 points in the third place, in a favorable position for the super.
Sichuan Jiuniu, on the other hand, is in 5th place with 10 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, 22 goals scored and 15 goals conceded, and 32 points. although the difference between the two teams is 7 points, with 17 rounds of the league left, the gap is not insurmountable. Especially in the next direct confrontation, it will be a grueling battle for the Super League, and neither side can afford to lose.
In terms of lineup, Qingdao Hainiu has a more balanced overall strength. And Zhou Dadi, the main player of Sichuan Jiuniu, was suspended for 2 games and fined 20,000 RMB by the Disciplinary Committee of CFA for disrespecting the opposing player in the last game against Beijing Institute of Technology, and is unable to play in this round. However, Sichuan Jiuniu still has a number of strong players such as Zhao Xuri, Ma Xiaolei, Luo Su, Wang Chu and Nansong. It is worth mentioning that Zou Zheng, who comes from Qingdao Hainiu's youth training and has played 173 matches for Hainiu, scoring 12 goals, will now play for Sichuan Jiuniu and face his old boss for the first time.
According to the broadcasting arrangement, in addition to the online platform, Qingdao Radio and Television Sports and Leisure Channel (QTV5) will also broadcast the game live. Let's look forward to seeing who will have the last laugh in this battle of the strongest.
