Shenzhen vs Shanghai Harbor Match time: 18:00 on December 13
During the gap period, the Shenzhen team was stable in preparation, and the negative news of the investor Kaisa Group did not affect the team.

Coach Carlos expressed confidence that the whole team can make history.
The Shanghai Harbour team was also in good shape, winning 5-2 in the warm-up match against Guoan. In the lineup, except for Lopez returning to Brazil to recuperate, the newly injured center-back Mystrovic did not come to Guangzhou with the team, the other players were not injured, and the cooperation between oscar and Paulinho and Mui, the core of the midfield, became more and more tacit.

Wang Shenchao, the captain who returned from the national football team, also said that he hoped to win the league championship with the team.

To be able to come to the championship group, Guangzhou City has completed the task ahead of schedule, like most Chinese Super League teams, Guangzhou City is also in a state of unpaid wages, and the club has just denied the rumors of merging with Guangzhou. Guangzhou City is now seriously disorganized, core foreign player Dembele will not participate in the second stage of the competition, and the previously stunning Guillermoine could not return to the team due to visa problems. While Ye Chugui, Zeng Chao, Chang Feiya and substitute goalkeeper Zhou Yuchen have been reimbursed for the season, Tang Miao, who was seriously injured, will not return until the end of December, and Chen Zhizhao is also injured. Nearly half of the team's main squad can not play, coach Van Gast's statement is quite interesting: we want to try to win the game, if we can't win, we must strive not to lose.
Yatai is the biggest dark horse in the Chinese Super League this season, and the team won the first place in the Suzhou Division by pressing Shanghai Harbour in the first stage. The team's foreign tridents, Junier, Eric and Serginho, are all in place, scoring 18 goals for the team in the 3-man league, accounting for nearly 80% of the team's total goals (23 goals). Coach Chen Yang's playing style of "let the other side can't attack, I can still score your ball" gives the other party a headache. This time there is no pressure in Yatai, the dark horse road will continue, and Guangzhou City will not become a stumbling block for them.

During the gap period, both teams have major adjustments, Guoan's Bakambu left, the team's second stage only a foreign aid to anderson, who had recently arrived, was available, and the Royal Forest Army was in the transition period before reconstruction.

Hebei VS Shandong Taishan Match time: 20:00 on December 13
Hebei team is the most difficult team in the Chinese Super League today, because the equity restructuring has not been completed, the team is still in the stage of salary arrears, this time to come to the Guangzhou division, is the players, staff and bus drivers together to piece together the road fare. In terms of personnel, foreign aid Sernas and Zhang Chengdong, who was suspended for 5 games, did not come at all. Internationals Yin Hongbo and Wang Qiuming, as well as Memisevic, have just finished isolation and are not in the best form, and coach Kim Jong-fu only came to the team 2 days before the start of the match. After completing the relegation task ahead of schedule, the Hebei team relaxed its mentality, but because the first-line players did not have systematic training for a long time, the state was worrying.
Shandong Taishan is one of the few clubs that has remained stable this season without unpaid wages, and when the main rival Guangzhou suffered a crisis, they saw the best chance to compete for the title with 33 points in the first stage. Although Wang Dalei and other 5 internationals have not been practicing with the team, coupled with the fact that Fellaini and the injured Moises who have just arrived in the team cannot play, the morale of the Shandong team, which is struggling to prepare in the gap period, is high, and Hao Wei certainly does not want to miss these 3 points.
