The Chinese Super League will witness an exciting clash today at 12:00 between Nantong and Shenzhen.
Nantong Zhiyun are currently positioned 15th in the Chinese Super League standings for the 2024 season. They have been struggling to find form, as their recent match against Beijing on 26th May ended in a 2-5 defeat. The season has been tough for Nantong, positioning them 15th with 10 points from 14 matches, having secured only 2 wins and 4 draws.
The team's overall goal tally stands at 16 scored and a concerning 30 conceded, indicating significant defensive issues.
Their recent form has not been inspiring either, with 2 draws and 3 losses in their last encounters.
Shenzhen faced top-of-the-table Shanghai Shenhua, coached by Russian manager Slutsky, on 26th May. The match ended in a narrow 0-1 loss for Shenzhen, with the only goal of the game netted by Shanghai’s Christian Malela in the 14th minute.
Shenzhen currently sit at the bottom of the league table in 16th place, with 10 points from 14 games. Their record includes just 2 wins, 4 draws, and 8 defeats, with an overall goal count of 13 scored and 28 conceded.
The team faces a tough challenge to improve their form and escape the relegation zone. Their recent performances have been far from satisfactory, with 1 draw and 4 losses in their last few matches.
In this battle of the Chinese Super League strugglers, I expect a cautious contest with the total goals under 2.5. Both teams, featuring the league's weakest attacks, will likely engage in a tight fight for points.
