This Sunday, the 17th round of the Chinese Super League championship group will be contested, and in this round, Guangzhou City will face Beijing Guoan. In the previous two teams ranked 5th and 8th respectively in the championship group, this season has basically been no desire. This game is the second time the two teams have met after a gap of more than two years, guangzhou city team, which has already suffered two consecutive defeats in the championship group, can this game win the next victory?
Guangzhou City made a bad start in the second stage, first losing to Changchun Yatai and then to Shanghai Harbor, suffering two consecutive defeats in the championship group. Counting the first stage of the league and the FA Cup, Guangzhou City has suffered a five-game winless game. At present, Guangzhou City team ranks first from the bottom in the championship group, 18 points behind shandong Taishan team at the top of the list. With only the last 6 rounds of the league remaining, Guangzhou City became the first team in the title contending group to lose their theoretical hope of winning the title.
Beijing Guoan have performed well since entering the second stage, facing Guangzhou in the first game, and in the final stage of the game, the team won 1-0 with Zhang Yuning's goal. In the last match against Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan took the lead in the 72nd minute, but in the last ten minutes, they were reversed by Taishan. At present, the Guoan team ranks 5th in the championship group with 27 points, and the hope of competing for the league title this season is very slim.
In the last match against Taishan, Beijing Guoan was not only killed by his opponents in the last moments, but they also lost the big general Wang Gang in the game. Wang Gang fractured his radius during a clash of matches and will miss out on the rest of the league this season. Continuous high-intensity matches are very easy to cause player injuries and other problems, this game against Guangzhou City, Beijing Guoan may carry out a certain range of personnel rotation.
Beijing Guoan have already won five consecutive games against Guangzhou City in a row and the FA Cup, and their last loss to Guangzhou City dates back to the 2017 Chinese Super League, when Guangzhou City beat Guoan 2-1 at home, which was also Guangzhou City's only victory against Guoan in the past 12 matches. Judging from the record of the confrontation and the strength of both sides, Beijing Guoan must occupy a certain advantage in this game.
The match will start at 20:00 Beijing time on December 19, when CCTV5+ will broadcast the match live. Who can win this match between Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou City? Fans who support both teams remember to follow the live broadcast of the match on time.
