The three AFC Champions League teams in the Chinese Super League have completed the round of 28. Zhejiang's match against Meizhou Hakka ended in a 1-1 draw, with Shandong Taishan beating Changchun Yatai 3-1 and Wuhan Three Towns beating Dalian 3-1. All three teams are vying for next season's AFC Champions League qualification and have shown strong prowess.
They don't have much time off because they have to return to the AFC Champions League immediately. Each team faces its own difficulties. From an opponent's point of view, the match against Hanoi is relatively easy for Wuhan Three Towns, which is the weakest team in the group and has lost two consecutive games so far. If Wuhan Three wants to qualify from the group, they must score six points in two games against Hanoi. If they win this match, they will accumulate 4 points and the hope of qualifying from the group remains.
For Zhejiang, they have suffered two consecutive defeats and have reached the point of no return. In the home game against Kofu Fenlin, if they lose again, they basically have no hope of qualifying for the group stage. Although Kofu Kazebayashi is a J2 League team, they beat some of Japan's biggest teams in a row last season and won the Emperor's Cup. Currently, they are number one in the group. For Zhejiang, it will be an uphill battle. Judging from the first two AFC Champions League matches, Zhejiang's defense is prone to holes, and they are slow to enter the game. They should be alert and get into play as soon as possible to avoid fatal mistakes.
Shandong Taishan team away to Incheon United team, it is also very difficult. Incheon United won both rounds and are currently top of the group. Moreover, after completing this round of Chinese Super League matches, the injury situation of the Taishan team worsened, and foreign aid Pato returned directly to Jinan and did not follow the team to South Korea. Keeping the draw could be the goal of the Tarzans. If they can get three points, it will be very advantageous for them. This match is also the first time that Choi Kang-hee has led the team to face a South Korean team, and I believe that he is familiar with the Korean team and will adopt corresponding tactics.
From the point of view, these three Chinese Super League teams cannot lose in this round. Losing the game will mean making it harder to advance. These three teams have achieved 2 wins and 1 draw in the Chinese Super League and hope to achieve 2 wins and 1 draw in the AFC Champions League.
