Beijing Guoan vs Shenzhen. Will a losing streak be broken by an ugly Shenzhen?
On Saturday, July 8, the Workers' Stadium will host a duel between Beijing Guoan and Shenzhen in the 15th round of the Chinese Super League.
Beijing Guoan has not been stable this season and is still far from the group of leaders of the Chinese Super League, although the team has a strong squad. Beijing does not play very well on the road, but recently lost at home - however, the undisputed leader of the championship, Shanghai. Then Beijing Guoan was able to win on the road against Chengdu and slightly improve his standings.
Guoan is now in good form, having won three of the last six league matches and making it to the next round of the China Cup after defeating Qibo. Winning Shenzhen is a must for a club that plans to catch up with the leaders. Guoan is currently in seventh place and six points behind the top three Super League teams.
Shenzhen
Shenzhen FC is in bad form - the team lost four league matches in a row and were eliminated from the Cup of China, losing to second division team Haimen. In the last five matches in all competitions, Shenzhen scored three goals, while conceding 14. Both the team's attack and its defense look terrible, and so far it is difficult to see any progress in the actions of Xian Yong's charges.
The team has high hopes in the attack on the Ghanaian striker Frank Achempong, but his goals are not enough for the team to score points in recent matches. Ghana also scored against Wuhan Three Towns in a recent game, but Shenzhen conceded three goals and lost again.
