Shijiazhuang Ever Bright vs Wuhan Zall is the second meeting scheduled for Friday, September 11, 2020, in Group B of the Chinese Super League. There are only five stages left until the end of the regular season and the confrontations are becoming more and more interesting. The match between the two will be played at Suzhou Sports Center.
Shijiazhuang wants to join the playoffs
Shijiazhuang is in fifth place in the Group B standings, the first position that misses the entry in the play-off. He has only one point less than Hebei, the team with which he disputes the chance to fight further in the group for the title. After Shanghai SIPG and Beijing Guoan is the team with the fewest defeats, only two in the first nine games. It is interesting that they did not come in front of the two mentioned powers. Wuhan Zall (1-2), Friday’s opponent, and Chongqing Lifan (0-1) are the two teams. It is one of the teams that close very well and leaves very little space for opponents. He has the third defense in Group B, with eleven goals conceded. Brazilians Muriqui, with four goals, scored, and Matheus, with two goals, is the most dangerous offensive players.
- Probable team (4-2-3-1): Shao Puliang – Liao Chenjian, Stoppila Sunzu, Cao Xuan, Zheng Zhiyun – Romulo, Chen Zitong – Matheus, Chen Pu, Zhong Jiyu – Muriqui
- Coach: Afshin Ghotbi
- Injured: Zang Yifeng
- Suspended: Wang Peng
Wuhan Zall was one of the favorites for the playoffs from the start
Wuhan Zall is third in Group B, with sixteen points in the first nine stages. She is still not sure of her presence in the play-offs, the difference from the fifth position being only three points. This match becomes a very important one. Even after splitting into the two groups, she was considered one of the favorites to qualify for the playoffs. At least so far he has shown that he deserved his status and keeps great chances to climb in the top eight in China. Ivorian Jean Evrard Kouassi, with five goals, scored, and Hu Jinghong, with three goals, are the main scorers. The group also includes the Brazilian Leo Baptistao, former striker at Atletico Madrid, but also the meteoric presence at CFR Cluj.
- Probable team (4-3-3): Dong Hengyi – Ming Tian, Han Pengfei, Liao Junjian, Liu Yi – Liu Yun, Song Zhiwei, Li Hang – Baptistao, Hu Jinghang, Kouassi
- Coach: Jose Manuel Gonzalez Lopez
- Injured: Rafael Silva
Shijiazhuang Ever Bright vs Wuhan Zall Picks
It is a crucial meeting for both fighters. Shijiazhuang can match Wuhan Zall in case of a victory and would start from the same level in the final sprint. I saw that he lost only two games, one of them even with today’s opponent. He knows how to approach these strong matches and manages to win precious points. He finished tied with Beijing Guoan, Shanghai SIPG, and Hebei. Why not repeat this result in this game as well. A draw is my proposal for this match.
Our Prediction: Draw
Odds: 3.45
