Duel Time: October 23, 2024, 20:00 at nightfall
As one of the brightest pearls in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Greenland Shenhua has had a great season, with an impressive record of 23 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, leaving the Harbour Team in the dust and leading the table with a 1-point difference. Foreigners Luiz and Malalei are scoring like crazy, with the former ranking fifth in the top scorer list, followed by the latter in sixth, and they have also made a lot of progress in the AFC Champions League, demonstrating their strength.
Recently, Shenhua turned back Henan 2-1 in the league, winning 8 and losing 2 of their last 10 matches, but their performance has been slightly inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses. Despite a 0-3 defeat against Johor Bahru in the AFC Champions League away game, Shenhua have been imposing at home, with nine consecutive wins and an average of three goals per game.
On the other hand, Kawasaki Striker is in a slump this season, with 11 wins, 11 draws and 11 losses in 33 rounds of matches, ranking only 10th in the table, and has long been out of the qualification for the intercontinental tournament. In the last three matches, they drew 1 and lost 2, especially on the road, winning only 2 of the last 6 matches.
Against this backdrop, Shenhua's morale is booming while Kawasaki Frontale is in a deep slump. However, it remains a mystery whether Shenhua will hold back for the domestic league title in the AFC Champions League. Let's see who will have the last laugh in this matchup.
The suspense is revealed: a win? A draw?
