Nantong Zhiyun suffered a fierce counterattack from Beijing Guoan in the relegation battle, and hated the game with a score of 1-3. Although the points stayed at 22, there is still a 4-point difference between them and Qingdao Hainiu, who is ranked in the bottom three, and it seems to predict the end of the early farewell to the Chinese Super League. Nantong Zhiyun's fall is not a coincidence, compared to previous seasons, this season's performance is like a roller coaster ride, most of the time hovering at the bottom of the Super League, such an ending seems to be expected.
The final relegation ticket in the Chinese Super League has yet to be finalized. Currently, Meizhou Hakka, Qingdao Hainiu and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng have 27, 26 and 26 points respectively, with a negligible difference in points. This also means that the final round of the competition will determine the fate of the team, any party's failure may directly lock the relegation quota.
The relegation pattern is getting more complicated. Qingdao Hainiu will host Cangzhou Lions, who have already stabilized their position, while Shenzhen will host Nantong Zhiyun, who have already announced their relegation. Although Meizhou Hakka is ahead of their rivals in terms of points, they are about to face Shandong Taishan on the road and the situation is not optimistic. In contrast, Qingdao Hainiu and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's home field advantage will give them more chances to win. Now, the key lies in whether Meizhou Hakka can make a comeback in the face of adversity.
