Chinese Super League preview: Henan team may stay in the FA Cup to avoid injuries, Zhejiang team works hard to improve ranking
6686 Sports News on October 25th. At 19:00 Beijing time today, the Chinese Super League will usher in the 28th round of the match. The Henan team will face the visiting Zhejiang team at the home court.
The Henan team has a record of 9 wins, 5 draws and 13 losses so far this season, ranking 11th in the standings with 32 points. The team leads the relegation zone by as many as 14 points, but it is also 26 points behind the AFC Champions League. The team actually has nothing to ask for. The team still has the Football Association Cup finals against Beijing Guoan at the end of the season. That game is the top priority. The only thing the Henan team needs to do now is to avoid injuries.
The team’s home team performance this season is relatively good, with a record of 6 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in 13 home games. The home team record ranks 10th. The team scored 29 goals in 13 games, showing a strong offensive ability. However, the defensive team lost 22 goals. The poor defense is also the main reason for the team’s poor league record.
Although the overall record of the Henan team is unstable, it has performed strongly at home recently and is currently undefeated in 7 consecutive home games in all competitions. At the pre-match press conference, team coach Ramos made a brief evaluation. He believed that although the Zhejiang team is currently in good competitive form, the Henan team's offensive ability has always been good. This also means that the Henan team still hopes to win this game by using offense instead of defense.
The Zhejiang team currently has a record of 10 wins, 10 draws and 7 losses, ranking 7th in the standings with 40 points. The team is in the middle of the league like its opponents. With the last three rounds left, they have nothing to pursue. Their goal is to improve their ranking. At present, they are only 3 points ahead of the Jinmen Tigers in front of them, and they still have a chance to reach the top 6 or even the top 5.
The Zhejiang team has a record of 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses as an away team this season. The away team's record ranks 8th. They have scored 24 goals in 13 games and have excellent offensive capabilities. However, like the Henan team, the team has conceded 22 goals and the defense is also very weak. This is a completely different team from the Zhejiang team that reached the Asia Elite Series in the past few years, and the team also needs to make adjustments at the end of the season.
The Zhejiang team has actually performed very well recently. Except for the 2-3 loss to Beijing Guoan in the past 11 rounds, they have remained undefeated in all other games. They still have good strength. Before the game, coach Caneda also predicted at the press conference that this would be a very difficult game, and the team also hopes to show competitiveness next season.
The two teams are relatively close in strength. They have met twice before this season. The two sides drew 2-2 in the league. In the Football Association Cup, the Henan team also narrowly defeated the Zhejiang team 3-2.
