On the night of November 3, Guangzhou and Chinese Super League (CSL) supremo Wuhan Sanzhen are set to battle it out. Guangzhou City's competitive form has climbed recently, and Yangcheng Evening News points out that the team's ability to defend its defense will be the focus of observation in this battle.
Guangzhou City saw a glimmer of hope for relegation with a 4-0 win over lowest-ranked Hebei in the last round of matches, leaving them just two points adrift of fourth-ranked Wuhan Changjiang. With one win and three draws in the last four rounds, it will be crucial for the team to show its irony on the defensive end.
Wuhan Three Town suffered an unexpected loss in the last round of matches, mainly due to the heavy losses suffered by strikers Malcolm and Davidson, which led to the team's first granular failure since the 22nd round of league matches. Chengdu Chengdu's excellent performance gave Guangzhou City confidence, but Guangzhou City's backline seems to be more fragile in comparison. In their first meeting this season, Guangzhou City lost 0-3. Now that Tang Miao is back in the center back position, whether the team's defense can withstand the pressure will be the key to score in this game.
