After more than a month of silence, the 2023 China First Division League reignites its passion today, October 9, with four exciting matches in the 25th round. Two of the matches will be broadcast live on local TV stations, Migu Video, Live Streaming Bar, DONG Qudi, Thunder Speed Sports and Soccer Channel, covering both online and mobile platforms.
Tonight at 7:30 p.m., all three Central League games will start simultaneously.
Qingdao West Coast hosts Jinan Xingzhou in a derby between the Shandong province in the Central League A. QTV-Qingdao Sports & Leisure Channel and Qingdao Huangdao Radio & TV Public Channel will provide live TV coverage of the match. Qingdao West Coast, led by former Dalian Shide foreign aid player and current head coach Jangovic, has gained momentum and is undefeated for 11 rounds in the league, with 50 points in the second place in the Chinese League One, only one point behind leader Sichuan Jiuniu and six points ahead of Nanjing City, with the dream of advancing to the Super League drawing nearer and nearer. The rival Jinan Xingzhou, although there are Dai Lin, Ye Chongqiu, Park Jiajun and other former Super League stars, but after two consecutive victories, 37 points ranked 6th, no hope for the Super League.
Qingdao West Coast has a strong desire to win this campaign and three points are on the line.
Guangzhou, who had been on the verge of collapse due to financial problems at parent company Evergrande, will face lowest-ranked Wuxi Wuhu at the Yuexiu Mountain Stadium. Guangzhou's young roster is ranked 12th with 27 points, just one point shy of Yanbian Longding, but 10 points out of the relegation zone and not worried about relegation. Wuxi Wuhou, on the other hand, has won two consecutive games, but has struggled to win in the previous 22 rounds and is at the bottom of the table with 12 points. Can Wuxi Wuhu, who seemingly have no hope of relegation, surprise Guangzhou with a third consecutive loss? This is certainly an interesting matchup.
Suzhou Dongwu will face Dongguan Union at home, which will be televised live on Jiangsu Broadcasting TV Sports & Leisure Channel. Suzhou Dongwu beat Dandong Tengyue 2-1 at home, ending the embarrassment of 10 rounds without a win, and ranked 11th in the table, with little relegation pressure. Dongguan Union, on the other hand, has won 4 rounds, but with the previous advantage, they are in the 7th place with 32 points and the relegation target has been achieved. In this battle, both teams may be able to fight easily.
At 3:00 p.m., the new Liaozhu soccer team Liaoning Shenyang City hosts Shanghai Jiading Huilong. Liaoning Shenyang City ended a five-game unbeaten streak with a home defeat against Qingdao West Coast in the last round, leaving them in 10th place in the standings and optimistic about relegation. Shanghai Jiading Huilong, on the other hand, after two consecutive defeats, had a strong momentum of grabbing points before and ranked 13th with 23 points, six points away from the relegation zone. If they can't get rid of the threat of relegation, they will go all out in the game. Liaoning Shenyang City, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have the determination to win the game, and the two teams might shake hands and take a point each in the first match.
