Cangzhou Mighty Lions had enjoyed a good run of results prior to the commencement of the Chinese Super League 2022. In their last six matches before June, they got four wins, a draw and a defeat. They even carried this form to their league campaign as they were unbeaten in their opening three games. However, since then the scene has hardly shown hope for Cangzhou Mighty Lions. Since losing the reverse fixture against Shenzhen on matchday four, Cangzhou Mighty Lions are yet to earn a win. Svetozar Sapuric has a lot of work on his hands to reverse his team’s fortunes.
As for Shenzhen, this match gives them a great chance to widen the gap between themselves and their opponents. Having started the season well with three wins in their first four games, Shenzhen have seen this good form fade away. In their last four matches, they have earned only one point in a draw against Chengdu Rongcheng FC and have lost all the other fixtures. An outing against fellow strugglers, Cangzhou Mighty Lions might just provide them with the right opportunity to earn a crucial win.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions mighty have to deal with the unavailability of Kaimu Zheng, Hao Guo and Stoppila Sunzu, all suffering from fitness woes. They are no suspended players. For Shenzhen, the major worry will be the absenteeism of Romain Alessandrini who is struggling with fitness this season. Rest of the squad is fit and available to play.
Cangzhou Mighty Lions possible line-up: Puliang, Xiaotian, Liu, Yun, Yiming, Zhe, Abdusalam, Lin, Skandar, Xinyu, Maritu
Shenzhen possible line-up: Lu, Xu, Shinar, Chai-Min, Yuan, Zhipeng, Yue, Yongpo, Yuanyi, Lin, Acheampong
The Chinese Super League match between Cangzhou Mighty Lions vs Shenzhen will take place at the Wuhua Olympic Sports Center Huitang Stad, Wuhua on Thursday at 5:00 pm IST.
The Chinese Super League matches are televised on different networks in various countries. Last year, Tencent had secured media rights in China for the Chinese Super League (CSL) matches.
