As Beijing time approaches on November 2, the 30th round of the Chinese Super League is about to ignite, which will not only concern the champion, but also reveal who will embark on the road to relegation, with a lot of suspense.
Although Nantong Zhiyun's fate is sealed and the title seems to be on the line, the mystery of who will be the second to be relegated will be revealed in the league's final chapter.
The final round of the Chinese Super League will start at 3 p.m. on Nov. 2: Shenzhen Xinpengcheng will host Nantong Zhiyun, and a win for the hosts will lock them in at 29 points, while Qingdao Hainiu will climb to 29 points if they take all three points on the road. Meizhou Hakka will face Shandong Taishan on the road, and will accumulate 30 points if they win, 28 points if they draw, and 27 points if they lose. In the "relegation fraternity" of New Pengcheng, Hainiu and Hakka, the situation of Hakka is the most worrisome, and the only way to ensure safety is to beat Taishan.
According to the Tianjin Daily News, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) will impose industry penalties on some teams as the professional league season comes to an end. At present, there are two main speculations about the punishment: one is the possibility of direct relegation, and the other is the next season's negative points to start. To the Chinese Super League, for example, once the team was ordered to be relegated, two "relegated horse" is expected to return to the Chinese Super League; if you start from the negative points, a conservative estimate of at least from the negative 6 games. There may even be an extreme situation where a team is both relegated and penalized, and the team's future is in jeopardy at that time.
