Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), an excellent student army, finished sixth in the China B League last season due to their overall lack of strength. Facing a 0-4 scoreline, Xi'an Chongde Ronghai clearly has a lot of room for growth. The newly promoted team needs to quickly adjust their tactics and overcome the difficulties to adapt to the fierce competition in the Chinese B League.
In the Shaanxi Derby, Xi'an Chongde Ronghai is at a disadvantage in terms of both team strength and game experience, and the only way to reap the best results at home is to go all out.
And Shaanxi United, the third-place finisher in the 2023 Chinese Champions League, is a new team but rebuilt based on the disbanded Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic and has the strength to challenge for the Central League. Collecting a goal in the first round of the tournament, Mi Haolun's stunning performance in the AFC Champions League was even more impressive. The Shaanxi team is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with as they move from the Second Division Championship to the Chinese Super League. The 2-0 away win over Hubei Young Stars in the first round showed its strength. Against city rivals Xi'an Chongde Ronghai, coach Oscar and his team will be aiming for back-to-back wins.
Looking back 20 years ago, Shaanxi Guoli and Xi'an Anxin Park met in the Shaanxi Derby, and now the two teams are meeting again in the Professional League's Chinese B League. How will this game be interpreted? All the suspense is waiting to be revealed.
