My Prediction
Zhejiang by 1Let's talk soccer, an artful dance between Beijing Guoan and Zhejiang in the Chinese Super League. The man standing between the sticks for Beijing, Jiaqi Han, has had an impressive run with 16 saves and an 8.20 rating. However, don't count Zhejiang's goalkeeper Bo Zhao out just yet, with 8 saves and a respectful 7.55 rating, he's not here to just wave at the ball.
As the saying goes, a team is only as good as its top players. Beast of the midfield, Aaron-Salem Boupendza has got his eye on the ball for Zhejiang. His last month has been impressive with 4 goals and 6 shots on target, he's serving up some nice dishes. Next up is the unstoppable Deabeas Owusu-Sekyere, who, despite not finding the back of the net, still has some impressive stats, particularly an 80.6% accurate pass percentage. Finally, Guowen Sun and his 81.8% pass accuracy can’t be overlooked, even if he's yet to make a mark on the score sheet.
Beijing Guoan has the heartbreaking Serginho, who despite having no goals and a 55.6% accurate pass rating, isn't leaving the top spot just yet. Lei Li and his goal-scoring endeavor want a word too, with 1 goal and a 77.7% accurate pass rating, he's been shaking things up, followed by Gonçalo Rodrigues, who even with no goals, has maintained an 86.7% accurate pass rating.
Let's re-visit the tragic love story between these two teams, the last couple of encounters ended with a draw on Fri Aug 16, 2024, and Beijing Guoan getting the upper hand on Fri Apr, 26 2024.
Taking a peek at their regular season records, Zhejiang seems to have their nose ahead with 2 wins and 2 draws, while Beijing Guoan has had 1 win and 3 draws.
The momentum factor? Zhejiang’s handsome recent wins against Cao Yi and Shenzhen City are noteworthy, while Beijing Guoan's recent draws with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Shanghai Shenhua can't be written off just yet.
So, who's going to take this, you ask? Weighing in all factors, (and please don't place any wagers based on what a slightly obnoxious commentator thinks), it seems like Beijing Guoan might face a setback this time.
