Guangzhou Evergrande take on the visitors Chongqing Lifan at “Tianhe Stadium” in the matchday 11 of the Chinese Super League. The game will be played on Saturday, May 27th.
Guangzhou Evergrande are the strongest football team in China in recent years, moreover, they have been the regular titleholder since 2011. Last season the team got not only the champion’s title of the Super League, it also won the FA Cup. “Southern China Tigers” come up to another clash in the tournament with 13-match undefeated streak covering nine victories with four draws and the last time they lost was on the 10th of March. After 10 rounds Luiz Felipe Scolari’s side is leading in the table with 25 points taken and 23-13 goal difference. In front of their supporters Guangzhou Evergrande conducted six encounters resulting in 16 points earned, 14 goals for and nine goals against. Guangzhou Evergrande have not been broken at their own turf in all competitions for more than a year already.

Last season Chongqing Lifan finished at the eighth position in the standings with 37 points gained and 43-50 goal difference. This season “Phoenixes” demonstrate the same level of results: the side occupies the 12th place in the table with 10 points taken and 10-13 goal difference after 10 gameweeks. On the road Chongqing Lifan participated in four clashes recording four points earned with 4-6 goal difference in them. However, at the moment the team is in the crisis as it have been failing to win since the 14th of April across six matches in a row, whereby, it was defeated in four last encounters with 3:7 aggregated score.
Historically, Guangzhou Evergrande have advantage over the visiting side and at the moment they are also in better competitive form which means that they have to break Chongqing Lifan without any difficulties. Nevertheless, I do not believe that the hosts will thrash their upcoming rival as they should bear in mind the forthcoming battle in the AFC Champions League next week.
Prediction for the match: Chongqing Lifan to win with +2.5 Asian handicap.
