Henan Songshan Longmen had endured a decent run of results before the start of the Chinese Super League, 2022. In their last six matches prior to June, they won three, drew two and lost just one fixture. In their league campaign so far, they have displayed quality blended with the right amount of experience. This has allowed them to maintain a close distance with the top of the table, just five points off the summit. Javier Pereira will be hopeful that his side can carry on this form for the rest of the season and challenge for the title.
As for Guangzhou City, the situation right now represents very little hope. Not even a single point after eight matchday indicates that a lot of things for them are seriously wrong. Unsurprisingly, they have also been the worst defensive outfit in the league having conceded 22 goals so far. In the reverse fixture against Henan Songshan Longmen, they lost 3-0 and all the pre-match scenarios indicate a more or less similar outcome on the cards. Guangzhou City will be hopeful to start their redemption process from now and produce a miraculous reversal of their fortunes.
Henan Songshan Longmen will be heading into this fixture with a full roster available. There are no injury or suspension related woes. Playing against the bottom ranked team may induce coach, Javier Pereira to give some of his key players a rest. Guangzhou City also won’t have to deal with any absentees. But with the team in such a bad form, we might see a plethora of changes for the next game.
Henan Songshan Longmen possible line-up: Wang, Sunjic, Yang, Liu, Wang, Zhao, Huang, Zhong, Mierzejewski
Guangzhou City possible line-up: Han, Jiang, Fu, Zhang, Huang, Tan, Li, Fan, Wang, Li, Cardona
