The center of the midfield, Fei Yu, the "general", who has been absent in several rounds of matches, now has good news that he is expected to come back in the next matches! In the pre-match warm-up, he was seen playing alongside his teammates. Given his recovery, Fei Yu is likely to be included in the starting lineup.
In the pre-match press conference, Dalian Ying's head coach Li Guoxu appeared with his player Sui Weijie. Li revealed: "This week, we have analyzed Guangzhou's tactical style in depth and formulated a corresponding strategy to deal with it. Guangzhou is a young and energetic team, and their commitment to the game is worthy of respect. We need to go all out and I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be victorious." Sui Weijie added: "I heard that the game was well attended. As players, we are equally looking forward to the event and hope to present a great match."
Competitor analysis
Guangzhou triumphed with a win in Suzhou Dongwu's road trip, with foreigner Beniarosa collecting his first goal of the season. Overall, Guangzhou's offensive firepower is quite impressive. Despite being ranked eighth, they are fifth in the league in terms of goals scored. However, the defense is a bit weak, with 13 goals conceded putting them in the bottom two in the league. Guangzhou's average age is only 20.3 years old, and most of the players in the team are from the Evergrande Soccer School. Notably, striker Beniarosa and defender Sadauskas are the team's key players. Wu has contributed two goals this season and his speed and runs are something to be wary of.
Starting lineup prediction
Goalkeeper: Sui Weijie
Defenders: He Xiaoqiang, Robertson, Jin Pengxiang, Zhang Hongjiang
Midfield: Kotelnik, Lv Peng, Mao Weijie, Sun Bao
Forward: Yan Xiangguan, Zhao Xuebin
