At the start of the new season, four new bloods have been injected into Dalian Kuncheng, with Baihetiar, who left the team for a short period of time, making a strong comeback, while Li Zhen and Yuan Hao have joined the team from fellow city team Dalian Yingbo, and Huo Liang has returned to Dalian Kuncheng after playing for Ganzhou RuiLi. This series of signings is a clear indication that Dalian Kuncheng is going all out for the China League One!
Dalian Kuncheng is in third place in the Central B North standings with 30 points, having won two matches in a row and having locked up a place in the top flight ahead of schedule. Haimen Kejiyuan and Shaanxi United are tied for the top two spots with 32 points, while Langfang Glory City is in fourth place with 27 points.
On the Southern Region standings, Guangdong Guangzhou Leopards led with 42 points, Shenzhen Youngsters and Hunan Xiangtao occupied the second and third places respectively with 29 points, while Guangxi Hengchen was in the fourth place with 28 points.
Although the Guangdong Guangzhou Leopards' place is basically locked, Dalian Kuncheng is still competing with other teams for the other Central League seat. Analysis of the situation suggests that even if they are unable to advance directly, Dalian Kuncheng will most likely accomplish their goal through the bye-a-bootstraps mechanism.
