Situation Outlook
First of all, if Shandong Taishan fails to beat Changchun Yatai in the afternoon match, they can only reach 52 points at most. Even if they win all their matches in the last two rounds, they can only accumulate 58 points at most and cannot touch the 59-point threshold. Therefore, even if Shanghai Seaport fails to beat Beijing Guoan in the evening match, they have already locked up the title invisibly and can celebrate at home in advance.
Secondly, if Shandong Taishan defeats Changchun Yatai in the afternoon, the points will reach 54, while Shanghai Seaport defeats Beijing Guoan in the evening, the points will reach 62. Although only two rounds of matches are left, the lead is still as high as 8 points, and the championship is basically out of doubt.
Furthermore, if Shanghai Seaport draws with Beijing Guoan in the evening, the points will be raised to 60, although the lead will be narrowed to 6 points, the direct match with Shandong Taishan in the next round will decide the champion. If Seaport can remain undefeated in this round of matches, the title will be in the bag.
Finally, if Shanghai Harbour suffers an unexpected loss in the evening match, the points will still stand at 59. With the remaining two rounds of matches, the lead narrows to 5 points and the championship suspense will be even more intense. In the next round, Seaport will face Taishan at home. If they can remain undefeated in this round of matches, the championship is still expected to be in hand. However, if they lose too many points in the match, the championship will depend on the final result of the last round.
