Preview of the Chinese Super League: Shenhua hopes to continue to maintain the suspense of the championship, and Yingbo has no desire for it.
6686 Sports, October 26th, at 19:35 Beijing time today, the Chinese Super League will usher in a matchup in the 28th round. Shanghai Shenhua will face the visiting Dalian Yingbo at the home team court.
Shanghai Shenhua currently has a record of 17 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses this season, ranking third in the standings with 57 points. There are only three rounds left in the league. Shenhua has 3 points with Shanghai Haigang, the top city rival. The championship situation is very passive. In addition to winning the next three games, the team also needs to look at the faces of top Haigang and Chengcheng in front of them.
Shanghai Shenhua performed very strongly in home team games this season. They only lost one game in 13 home team games throughout the season, with a record of 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. The home team performance also ranked second among all teams. The team scored 36 goals in 13 games, averaging close to 3 goals per game. Their offensive capabilities are very scary, but they conceded 17 goals on the defensive end, which is not a very good statistic for a team aiming to compete for the championship.
In addition to the team's recent severe championship situation, the Asian Elite Tournament is also coming one after another, which is a big test for the team's physical fitness. Before the game, coach Slutsky also said that most of the team's energy is currently focused on recovering physical fitness. The team is currently fully preparing for league matches and must not lose points again. The team's opponents in the next three rounds are not strong, and Shenhua still has a good chance of competing for the championship.
As a newly promoted team, Dalian Yingbo’s performance this year is remarkable. So far, they have a record of 9 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses, ranking 10th in the standings with 34 points. The team has completed its tasks for this season ahead of schedule. For them, they have nothing to ask for and every game is to enjoy football.
Dalian Yingbo’s outstanding performance mainly relies on their strong home team. The team’s performance in the away team is a disaster. In 13 away games, they only got a dismal record of 1 win, 5 draws and 7 losses. They only scored 11 goals in 13 games. The offensive end performance was relatively sluggish, while the defensive end conceded 27 goals, averaging more than two goals per game.
The team has been winless for 4 consecutive rounds recently. Facing the powerful Shanghai Shenhua this time, it is difficult for Dalian Yingbo to stop its pursuit of the championship.
The two teams have only had two duels in history. Shanghai Shenhua won both of them and kept clean sheets against Dalian Yingbo. There is a huge strength gap between the two sides. Moreover, Shenhua’s home team is strong and Dalian Yingbo’s team is weak. In addition, Shenhua’s championship situation is urgent and must win, while Dalian Yingbo has no desire or desire.
