Hebei faces Shanghai Shenhua in the second leg of the Chinese Super League playoffs (5th-8th places – 7th place). The match will be played on Tuesday, November 10th at Suzhou Sports Centre (Suzhou)
In general, the Reds managed to improve their results and showed that 11th place in the last season was an unpleasant exception. In the group stage of the current “coronavirus” championship, Hebei China Fortune managed to score 25 points in 17 matches. Only three teams from its group managed to gain more, but even such a number of points allowed the Reds to get in the playoffs. Unfortunately, it did not work out to claim something more - having won three times in a row in September, Hebei lost its best shape. Over the past month and a half (in five matches), the team managed to gain only one draw. It conceded eight goals in two matches against Guangzhou Evergrande, and 2-2 and 3-6 with Luneng sent the team into a dispute for 7th place. However, the chances for it are already minimal.

The Blue Devils have clearly improved their game this year. In 2019, the team fought for survival and eventually took only 13th place. However, Choi Kang-hee's men have gained 27 points in 17 matches of 2020, confidently taking the third position in their group. But if they could take some more points, they would have been able to shift Shandong Luneng from the second line. Anyway, the result was good. Shanghai Shenhua lost to Shanghai SIPG in the first round of the playoffs in a bitter struggle. Sun Shilin equalized the score in the 90th minute of the return match, but Hulk and the company went further after a penalty shootout. The next defeat was even more offensive. The Blue Devils beat Chongqing Lifan (3:1), but the return match ended with a 0-2 score, and an incredible 10-9 penalty shootout followed. Will China Fortune manage to win back after an away romp again?
Hebei China Fortune won in three last head-to-head matches. But what good is it if Shanghai Shenhua was able to win 4-1 in the first leg of the current confrontation? The nominal hosts are unlikely to win back such a goal difference. However, they can at least "slam the door", so we will bet on their victory.
Prediction for the match: Hebei to win
