Talking about Hadas, he has been playing like a shining star recently, scoring goals in two consecutive matches. Especially in the 29th round of the tournament, he won the best player of the Super League with his outstanding performance. With such an outstanding performance, Hadas is full of confidence, and he is eager to lead Tianjin Jinmen Tigers to beat Shanghai Gang in the upcoming matchup. However, looking at the overall strength of the two teams, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers seem to be a little bit lacking.
Looking back at the past meetings between the two sides (as shown in the chart below), it seems that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have been the underdogs, with fewer wins and more losses. In their most recent matchups in the Chinese Super League and AFC Cup, SIPG swept Tianjin Jinmen Tigers by a score of 3-0. Looking back at last year, both meetings ended in draws, with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers narrowly losing one of the away matches. In 2022, both teams won one game each. Obviously, by 2024, the gap between the two sides will have widened further, and the advantage of Hong Kong will be more and more prominent.
Based on the above analysis, we may be able to come to a preliminary judgment: despite Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' ambition to challenge SIPG, their chances of success are relatively low, especially after their poor performance at home, and playing on the road is even more challenging. However, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers should not be discouraged and should not give up lightly. Even though they may not be able to beat Shanghai, what if they can force a draw? If Shenhua can beat Chengdu Rongcheng in their next match, the title will still be in doubt.
