[Changchun Yatai]
Changchun Yatai defeated Shenzhen by 1-0 at home in the last round, collecting their second consecutive win of the season. In the first eight matches of the second phase, they achieved four wins, two draws and two losses, which is an improvement compared to the first phase. However, the team's top scorer Junior is injured, and international soccer player Tan Long, who scored the winning goal in the last round, is out due to injury, so their comeback is still uncertain.
If the two players can't return in time, it will be a huge blow to Yatai's offensive line. The new Austrian player Zui is about to make his debut in the Chinese Super League. Zui has been focusing on physical adjustment, now the team is in urgent need of personnel, the Changchun fans are looking forward to the player can shine in this game, it is worth looking forward to.
[Guangzhou Team]
After Zheng Zhi's return to coaching, Guangzhou beat Shenzhen 4-1 in their first match, but then suffered 2 draws and 3 losses in the next five rounds, during which only Ling Jie scored a goal. Currently in the Chinese Super League standings, Guangzhou is ranked 16th with 11 points from 3 wins, 2 draws and 13 losses, and is 6 points adrift of Wuhan Changjiang in the relegation zone, which makes the relegation situation quite grim.
Returning from the break, the return of rising stars Tan Kaiyuan and Efirdin has enriched Guangzhou's frontcourt options. The return of veterans Huang Bowen and Zhang Chenglin to the training ground also signals the strengthening of the squad. However, Zhang Xiuwei and Li Xuepeng are still out due to injuries, and goalkeeper Liu Shibo is not expected to start although he has resumed training.
Although Guangzhou's squad is complete, they will face the challenge of the temperature difference north of the border. The highest temperature in Changchun on that day was only 10℃, and the lowest temperature even reached minus 1℃, which is a great test for the team. In contrast, Changchun Yatai, due to travel adjustments, has recently played consecutive home games and won two consecutive home games against Wuhan Changjiang and Shenzhen, so the home advantage should not be underestimated.
