My Prediction
Yunnan Yukun by 1Alright then, let's have a gander at this charming contest between Changchun Yatai and Yunnan Yukun. The keepers are looking pretty evenly matched – goodbye clean sheet dreams, you two. Yunnan Yukun sports Jianxian Yu and Zhen Ma between the sticks whose ratings are 7.90 and 7.25 respectively with a combined save tally of 22. Nice job, fellas. Or not. I'm not your mom.
Meanwhile, for Changchun Yatai, Yake Wu takes up the goalkeeping mantle though his rating of 6.72 and 13 saves doesn’t exactly inspire confidence – they may be playing more defense than they'd like.
Leading Yunnan Yukun's colourful troupe of players is Tsui Wang-Kit with a rating of 7.45, followed by Alexandru Ioniță and Oscar Taty Maritu, misery loves company after all. On the other side, Changchun Yatai has Lazar Rosić taking the lead with his 7.26 rating, Wylan Cyprien, and the relentless, goal finding machine Long Tan as regular threats.
Yunnan Yukun's regular season record seems to have tilted a little bit more in their favour compared to Changchun Yatai's. In fact, with numbers like 2-2-3 against 1-1-5, you can feel the faint taste of superiority dripping off their lineup.
The recent results also reflect the same sentiment, showing that while both teams have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride, Yunnan Yukun has managed to keep their seats a tad more securely buckled.
Given these factors, it looks like the stars might align for Yunnan Yukun. Yet, I should remind my dear listeners that life, like sports, is full of uncalled surprises and given Changchun Yatai pays slightly less for a win, there's always the possibility of money's sweet allure tipping the scales. But don’t quote me on that. Please. My reputation is fragile enough.
