My Prediction
Shenzhen City by 1Ah yes, Shenzhen City and Wuhan Three Towns are at it again. It's reminiscent of when I can't decide whether to finish off my leftover pizza or Chinese takeout - both are tempting in their own right. Let's break it down a bit for those of you interested.
Wuhan's guardian of the net, Puliang Shao, holds a decent rating of 6.38 and saved 15 attempts previously. Not bad, Puliang, not bad at all. Not to be outdone, Shenzhen City's Ji Jiabao, the living 'Not today' meme, parries off the competition with a 6.88 rating and 16 saves. That's right, 16.
Looking at Wuhan's top players, Gustavo Sauer tops with a 7.78 rating, 2 goals, and the relentless accuracy of a homing pigeon with 84.5% pass accuracy. Following him is Alexandru Tudorie and Zheng Haoqian who, between themselves, have managed 5 goals off just 11 shots on target. Pinpoint precision, it seems.
On the other hand, Shenzhen City boasts a fine collection of athletes. High in the ranks are Rade Dugalić and Eden Karzev, who've had the net trembling three times between them. Dugalić boasts an impressive 7.38 rating, and Karzev isn't far behind with 7.37.
Our historical data tells us that Wuhan Three Towns trounced Shenzhen City 4-1 last August, only to shake hands on a draw in April this year. Rolling into their recent games, Wuhan managed to score two goals in each of their last four matches, barring a hiccup against Shanghai Port. On the other hand, Shenzhen recently registered a dauntless victory against Tianjin but experienced a hiccup or two against certainty stronger squads.
In terms of regular season records, both the teams have been playing hide and seek with victory, really. Their records tell me that winning for them is like finding a needle in a haystack. 'W' seems to be that elusive element in the periodic table that they've rarely bumped into.
Taking all this into account, drumroll, please...
