My Prediction
Shenzhen City by 1Let's dig our cleats into this one, sports fans. We've got Shenzhen City squaring off against Henan Songshan Longmen for a good old fashioned Chinese Super League matchup of football fun.
First things first though, we're working with less than ideal intel here, you'd think with all the technology these days we'd have more robust stats on the keepers, yet here we are. For Henan Songshan Longmen, the man between the sticks is Gouming Wang who's posted a humble 6.40 rating and 6 saves to his name. On the flip side we've got Shi Zhao donning the gloves for Shenzhen on an equal 6.40 rating but falls short with only 3 saves.
Now getting into some of the hot shots from each team. Henan Songshan Longmen boasts of Frank Acheampong and Felippe Cardoso leading the charge, with ratings of 7.50 and 7.45 respectively. They've each found the back of the net once and as everyone in the world of sports knows, there's nothing like a few goals to polish up those player ratings.
Over to the Shenzhen City side, they've got Edu Garcia leading the party, recording a 7.55 rating along with 2 successful attempts at goal. They've also got Rade Dugalić, no goals to his name but a respectable 7.30 rating.
Turning to the past records, it seems our teams were evenly matched with a 0-0 tie last time they met, but let's not forget the previous encounter where Shenzhen clearly said "Not in our house!" and bagged a 2-0 victory over the Longmen. The recent separator of the two teams is as thin as the line on a flip chart. Regular season records see them balanced on a knife edge with both sides boasting 1 win and 3 losses, albeit the Longmen have a single draw in their pocket.
Looking into recent results, neither team really has much to write home about, each side has their own bundle of losses mixed with a couple of wins or so. Almost makes you wish for a team with a bit more consistency, right?
Well I've looked over the facts, spat out my commentary, and considering all things, my crystal ball indicates a slight advantage for Shenzhen City. I'm seeing better ball finding net action from their top dogs, a tiny glimmer of hope amidst their recent heartbreaks, and an itch to repeat that 2-0 victory over their opponents.
So here it is, your much-awaited prediction:
