In their last six matches before the beginning of the Chinese Super League 2022, Shanghai Shenhua endured a mixed run of results. They won three matches but also drew two and lost one. However, they began their league campaign in a tremendous manner, embarking on an unbeaten run in their first seven matches. Table toppers, Wuhan Three Towns handed them their first defeat of the season in their last fixture where they lost 4-2. Shanghai Shenhua will hope to quickly bounce back from this defeat and continue their journey.
As for Hebei, their league run so far has been an absolute disaster. A surprising 2-1 win over Wuhan Yangtze River on matchday seven has been their only positive result so far. Hebei have lost all their other fixtures. Their coach, Jong-Boo Kim certainly has a lot to think about and plan if his side are to gain any sort of momentum and escape the relegation zone. A draw or a win against Shanghai Shenhua, although unlikely, will provide a major boost to them.
Shanghai Shenhua will have to deal with the unavailability of Wang Haijian who is suspended due to the accumulation of too many yellow cards. Rest of the squad is available for selection into the playing XI. Hebei FC will be content with the fact that they don’t have to deal with any fitness or suspension related issues. This will certainly boost them in their quest for a victory.
Shanghai Shenhua possible line-up: Ma, Shenglong, Jinhao, Chenjie, Qinhan, N’Doumbou, Xi, Jianrong, Shilin, Bassogog, Yunding
Hebei FC possible line-up: Bao, Cui, Pan, Zhang, Jing, Liao, Gao, Yao, Gao, Yao, Xu
