Tarzan Maejo summit clash: a match to decide fate
Meizhou Hakka has 27 points, if they can beat the strong Taishan in today's game, they will be able to stabilize their position in the Super League. On the other hand, if they draw or lose, the road to relegation will depend on the losses of Hainiu and Xinpengcheng.
However, it is quite difficult for Meizhou to win on the road, with Taishan's imposing team and Coach Choi Kang-hee's deployment of strong players such as Zeca, Kressan and Kazayishvili.
However, the Taishan team is not invulnerable. With the AFC Champions League on the horizon, they are worried about injuries to their starters and may hold back in the game.
Meizhou Hakka's recent situation has improved with one win and one draw in two rounds. Players like Rodrigo, Mali, Liao Junjian and Cheng Yuelei are doing well and fighting for relegation. Maybe they can make a miracle and win against Taishan. In the first round, the two sides were tied at 0:0. Now that New Pengcheng drew Shenhua on the road, it's anyone's guess whether Meizhou Hakka can beat Taishan!
Shenzhen Xinpengcheng meets Nanneng Zhiyun: not only to win, but also to extend the goal difference advantage.
Among the four relegation teams, Xinpengcheng is at a disadvantage in terms of points, win-loss relationship and goal difference, making the relegation situation grim. If all four teams win, Meizhou Hakka will be relegated, while New Pengcheng will be relegated if they win little, and have the same 29 points as Hainiu and Cangzhou. Therefore, New Pengcheng needs a win to build the foundation of relegation.
In terms of strength, New Pengcheng can be called the strongest among the four teams. The five foreign aiders are like five swords with extraordinary skills, and their total value is second only to that of the seaport. However, the tactical system has not yet been fully integrated, sparks in the offense and holes in the defense.
Since the managerial change, the new Pengcheng has a new look and is full of energy in both offense and defense. Although they didn't get all three points from Shenhua in the last round, their performance was enough to cheer up the fans. In this round, they are facing Nantong Jiyun, who has been relegated early, and the victory seems to be beckoning to them. In the first match between the two sides, New Pengcheng won 1:0 on the road. Whether they can extend the score in this match may depend on Nantong Zhiyun's fighting strength and attitude.
Overall, Cangzhou Lions are in the best situation, Meizhou Hakka are the hardest and most dangerous, and Hainiu will have to depend on the sky. As for New Pengcheng, the only way to beat Nantong Zhiyun is to win the game, and the fate of the team will be revealed. Let's look forward to the final chapter of the Super League relegation battle!
