A win for Nantong Zhiyun would give them a 12-point lead over the teams outside the Super League, a huge advantage in the remaining 14 rounds of the league. If Sichuan Jiuniu can win three points, they will be promoted to the third place, and the difference between them and Nantong Zhiyun will be narrowed to six points, which will make the fight for superseding the league more and more intense. If the two sides shake hands and make a draw, the pace of promotion for both sides will slow down. At that time, the second and third ranked Kunshan and Qingdao Hainiu will be expected to benefit. A win over Heilongjiang Bingcheng would put Kunshan in sole possession of the lead, while a win for Qingdao Hainiu over Beijing Beitida would further solidify the momentum.
The confrontation between Jiangxi Beidamen and Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear is a life-and-death battle for relegation. Prior to the match, the point difference between the two teams was 4 points, leading the relegation zone by 5 points and 1 point respectively, and this special background foretells the intensity of the match. Jiangxi North Gate, which has not won in four rounds, will be in a more and more dangerous situation if it does not have three more points in its account.
Guangxi Pingguo Ha Loud and Clear has yet to get rid of the draws after the fiasco of managerial change. Currently, after 19 rounds of matches, they have achieved 10 draws, making them the team with the most draws. Such a result seems to be busy, but in fact it is inefficient, hovering on the edge of the relegation zone. In stark contrast, Liaoning Shenyang City have won 4 matches, 1 point less than Pingguo Harcloud, although they have only achieved 3 draws. As a result, Pingguo Harcloud desperately needs a win to boost their morale.
Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) and Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard (XTX), who are currently in the last two places of the league, will face Shijiazhuang Kungfu (SHJK) and Nanjing City (NJC), who are in the sixth and ninth places, respectively. Given the obvious difference in strength between the two teams, there is not much doubt about winning or losing these two matches. The key lies in whether Beijing Institute of Technology and Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard are able to play well against relatively weak opponents and earn valuable points.
It's worth noting that Shijiazhuang Kung Fu and Nanjing City are equally desperate for three points. Shijiazhuang Kung Fu is in danger of dropping out of the competition if it fails to win again after consecutive losses to its rivals for the Super League title, while Nanjing City is locked in a fierce competition with fellow provincial team Suzhou Dongwu, which has the same number of points and the same ranking. As Suzhou Dongwu had already beaten Liaoning Shenyang City 2-1, and once again exceeded the score, Nanjing City can only continue to catch up with their rivals if they get all three points.
The final direction of these four matches will undoubtedly be the center of attention.
