Beijing are unable to defeat Guangzhou Evergrande in last four head-to-heads, losing the last three matches with 1-7 aggregate score. We have no reason to expect anything else but another confirmation of Guangzhou Evergrande’s high level. The visitors should be closer to a victory in this match and to clinching the place in the semifinals.
