My Prediction
Henan Songshan Longmen by 2Oh boy, let's roll up our sleeves and dig into this Chinese Super League matchup between the Henan Songshan Longmen and Meizhou Hakka.
First off, let's chat about the cast of characters we've got here. On goalie duty, Meizhou Hakka has Jianxiang Sun and Quanbo Guo tending to the net. While Sun has put up a decent 6.5 rating and recorded 4 saves, Guo's been playing hide 'n' seek with those save opportunities with a 6.00 rating and zilch saves. On the other half of the pitch, Gouming Wang for Henan Songshan Longmen has been posing for goalkeeper glamour shots, boasting a solid 6.83 rating with a generous side of 10 saves.
Looking at the on-field celebs, Meizhou Hakka is leaning on Michael Cheukoua to carry them. Cheukoua has a 7.15 rating, 1 goal and has kept the business end of his boot busy with 1 shot on goal. But do keep an eye on the supporting cast - Liao Junjian and Rodrigo Henrique, each putting up respectable ratings of 7.00 and 6.95 respectively.
On the flip side, we see that Nazário's been flexing his 8.23 rating with all the swagger of a Zumba instructor at a retirement home. The man's got zero goals, but he's two timing with shots on goal. Henan Songshan Longmen also has Felippe Cardoso, a true marksman with a 7.97 rating, 2 goals and has seen the goal 9 times. To complete this trio, there is Shangyuan Wang with no goals but a 7.67 rating.
The past fits between these two aren't a pretty dress. If we glance over to the past match records, the latest was a bit of a ding-dong battle, ending with Meizhou Hakka trumping the Longmen 2-1, but the Longmen pulled a clean 3-0 victory beforehand. Quite the pendulum swing, no?
Mulling over the season records, there's a lot of vinegar going around. Meizhou Hakka at 3-3-10 and Henan at 4-3-9 - let's just say it's been a challenge.
Nowtaking into consideration some recent results - Hakka's last 5 games scream disappointment louder than a karaoke night at an old folks' home. As for Henan, it's been a mixed bag, no outright victories, but they've managed to wriggle out a few draws.
All said and done, hopping into the DeLorean and peeking into the future, I'd put my money on Henan Songshan Longmen trumping Meizhou Hakka by a margin of 2.
