Chongqing Lifan vs Hebei is one of the matches that will be played on Friday, September 11, 2020, in the tenth round of the Chinese Super League. The match is scheduled at Kunshan Stadium, a neutral location.
Chongqing Lifan still hopes for the playoffs
Chongqing Lifan is sixth in Group B of the Chinese Premier League. He collected nine points in the first nine stages. He won only two matches, with Shijiazhuang (1-0) and Tianjin Teda (2-1). He still hopes to be in the playoffs, but the chances decrease with each passing stage. He has only five more games to play, and the difference from the fourth place is five points. We must keep in mind that among the opponents are Shanghai SIPG and Wuhan Zall, games in which it is hard to believe that he will get points. The most important players are the Brazilian Alan Kardec and the Polish international Adrian Mierzejewski. Kardec is also the team’s top scorer, with three goals scored. Dilmurat Mawlanyaz is down injured.
- Probable team (4-2-3-1): Deng Xiaofei – Jiang Zhe, Yuan Mincheng, Luo Hao, Liu Huan – Fernandinho, Chen Jie – Mierzejewski, Huang Xiyang, Feng Jing – Kardec
- Coach: Chang Woe-Ryong
- Injured: Mawlanyaz
Hebei is going through a very good period
Hebei climbed to fourth place in Group B and has a good chance of catching one of the playoff positions. On this season finale, he has a direct duel with Shijiazhuang. In my opinion, the last team that will go to the group in which the champion is decided will be decided between the two. It would be an exceptional result for this band. We must not forget that last season he finished eleven. Now he is going through a very good period, with four victories in the last five stages. Among the losers are Shanghai SIPG and Wuhan Zall, two top teams in China. Brazilians Marcas Vinicius (Marco) and Ricardo Goulart are the most important players of the team. Marco is Hebei’s top scorer, with five goals scored. Xie Feng has no batch problems.
- Probable team (3-4-1-2): Bao Yaxiong – Liu Jing, Pan Ximing, Zhang Chengdong, Zhao Yuhao – Memisevic, Wang Qiuming – Paulinho, Yin Hongbo, Goulart – Marco
- Coach: Xie Feng
Chongqing Lifan vs Hebei Picks
The match will be played on neutral ground, according to the decision of the Chinese federation. The two met once more and the score was equal 2-2. Then Hebei led 2-0 but was tied in the end, due to some basic mistakes in defense. Now the meeting is very important and Hebei can no longer afford the wrong steps. He needs all three points to stay ahead of his direct opponent in the playoff qualifier, Shijiazhuang. I propose a victory for Hebei in this meeting.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 2.02
