My Prediction
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger by 2Let's get right into this hotter-than-wasabi match up between Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Meizhou Hakka. Now, let's have some fun crunching numbers.
Let's talk goalkeepers. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger has Yan Bingliang with a respectable 7.30 rating and Jingqi Fang with a close 7.22. Both gentlemen sporting a combined count of 117 saves. Now, don't get too comfy, because Meizhou Hakka saw that stat and raised them by adding Yuelei Cheng and his 7.07 rating with a whopping 109 saves to the mix along with Jianxiang Sun and his 7.70 rating.
On the player front, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger is flaunting a high-caliber squad. Albion Ademi, scoring ace of the team, already pocketed 9 goals with an impressive rating of 7.30 along with Alex Grant and Mile Škorić each with a 7.14 and 7.05 rating respectively. Meizhou Hakka isn't to be outplayed either, with ace attacker Rodrigo Henrique and his 2 goals along with Nebojša Kosović and John Mary who both notched 5 goals a piece, promising a grueling offensive game.
Considering previous encounters between the two, recent history has been rather cordial, with a close fought battle that ended 3-2 in favor of Meizhou Hakka and a sibling-like 0-0 draw.
The last season had Tianjin Jinmen Tiger prancing around with a balanced record of 12 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses, while Meizhou Hakka ended up on the wrong side of the scales with their 6 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses. Recent form records are also something to savour with a bitter-sweet tang seeing how both teams have won 1 out of their last 5 games.
So here we are at the moment where I, dry as stale cracker, predict the outcome. Drum roll please!
