Review of the encounter
The two teams have met seven times in the past, with Dalian Ren holding the upper hand with three wins, two draws and two losses. In the first round of this season, Dalian Ren failed to beat their opponent at home. This time, they will meet their relegation rivals again, and it is undoubtedly a crucial battle for six points, which is crucial for both sides. It will be interesting to see if the Dalian people can make a comeback on the road.
pre-tournament analysis
In the last round of the league, the team was defeated by Chengdu on the road. Fortunately, the team's morale was not affected by the penalty shootout in the FA Cup, where Henan went out. Facing Meizhou Hakka, who are in the relegation zone, Dalian people need to get at least a point on the road, or else the manager Xie Hui's position may not be guaranteed. Three national Olympic players were selected for the national team again and are not involved in this game. Wang Zhenao and Wang Yaopeng are still recovering. Training photos show that Bosanjic and Lv Peng did not travel with the team.
pre-game press conference
Mr. Xie Hui and Kudizhi attended the pre-match press conference. Mr. Xie Hui said that Meizhou is a strong opponent. After the adjustment, Meizhou has not performed well at home. Tomorrow's game will be extremely tough and he hopes his team can win through hard work.
Player Kudiji also said that the team is well prepared for the match under the leadership of the head coach and will go all out for the win.
Opponent's recent history
In the last five rounds of league matches, Meizhou Hakka has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Meizhou Hakka's substitute lineup suffered a tough loss in the weekend's FA Cup match against Shandong Taishan, but coach Ristic remains focused on the league. During the summer window, the team brought in Dutch striker Konrad, who contributed two goals against Guoan to help the team collect three points. With Meizhou Hakka's team boasting a number of talented foreigners, the Dalianese will face a tough battle.
