Meizhou Hakka FC

Form: WDLLL

Meizhou Hakka FC showed great resolve to secure maximum points from their recent match against Chengdu Rongcheng FC as they claimed a convincing 3:1 victory.

Opposition Zhang Yan's sending-off inside fourteen matches was more of fate lending them a helping hand as Chen Zhechao put his side ahead before the break. The second half saw Rodrigo Henrique and Yang Yihu be on target, extending the lead to three before conceding a last-minute goal.

Since a 4:2 win over Changchun Yatai on May 10, they went eight matches without a win, picking up six losses and two draws—a run that has been snapped with their recent win to rekindle their confidence. 

With three wins, four draws, and eight losses in their fifteen matches, they find themselves occupying twelfth place with 13 points to their name. Three points separate them from the relegation zone, a not so ideal position to be in as suffering a loss in this encounter could possibly drag them down to the drop zone.

Team News

Meizhou Hakka FC manager Milan Risti has no reported injury concerns to be worried about, as he has a full roster of healthy players to choose from coming into this game.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

C. Yuelei; Z. Chen, R. Dugalić, J. Liao, T. N. Yue; J. Chen, N. Kosović; C. Ye, R. Henrique, H.B. Yin; T. Conraad

Beijing Guoan FC

Form: WWLDW

The Imperial Guards were not one to waste a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to record their second win in a row as they welcomed Shenzhen FC to the Workers Stadium, winning 5:0 to bag three points.

Piao Cheng put his side ahead in the opening five minutes, and with their opponent down to ten men in the 41st minute, Wang Ziming doubled the lead before the break, where he also scored two in the second half to complete his hattrick while not forgetting Feng Boxuan's contribution with a goal of his own.

Their form in the last eight matches has been consistent, picking up four wins, two draws, and two losses to accumulate fourteen points, a run that has left them high on confidence.

With six wins, six losses, and three draws in their fifteen matches, they find themselves occupying sixth place with 24 points in the standings, where possibilities of making their way into the top three seem likely. They find themselves three points adrift, and nothing but a win will be the only outcome they'll be gunning for in this encounter.

Expert Betting Tips

Meizhou Hakka FC will be determined to record their second consecutive victory, but their lack of imagination and quality in recent weeks could see them back on the drawing board once again with their negative run.

Beijing Guoan FC have pulled themselves back up with two consecutive wins after a brief two-match winless run. Away from home, they have picked up three draws, two wins, and two losses, which could be considered a decent run as they fancy their chances of extending their winning streak in the league to three matches for the first time. 

Their last three meetings have seen neither side claim a win, as all matches ended in a draw, with their most recent meeting being a 1:1 draw this season. And while another similar outcome may be anticipated where both sides will be content with a point, there's absolutely no reason to overlook a Beijing Guoan side that has been the better side in recent weeks with their performance compared to Meizhou Hakka's floundering one, which makes their triumph in this encounter one not to be doubted.
