Beijing Guoan will aim to tighten up at the back and rely on their midfield to control the game. With Nkololo and Liangming in the middle, they have the creativity to unlock Zhejiang’s defence.

Form Guide & Team Overview
Zhejiang
Zhejiang’s recent form has been a mixed bag. They started strong with a 2-0 win against Qingdao West Coast and a commanding 4-1 victory over Qingdao Hainiu. However, their momentum has been halted by a 1-1 draw with Shanghai Shenhua and back-to-back losses against Chongqing Tonglianglong FC and Dalian Yingbo. This inconsistency might be a concern, but their ability to score goals should give them some confidence heading into this fixture.
Despite the recent setbacks, Zhejiang’s attacking prowess, particularly in their away win against Qingdao Hainiu, shows they can be a threat. If they can tighten up defensively, they have a good chance of getting back to winning ways.Zhejiang’s recent form has been a mixed bag.

Beijing Guoan
Beijing Guoan’s form has been less than stellar, with only one win in their last five matches. Their 2-0 victory over Wuhan Three Towns was a highlight, but since then, they’ve struggled, suffering losses to Shandong Taishan, Liaoning Tieren FC, and Chengdu Rongcheng. A 1-1 draw with Shanghai Shenhua offered a glimmer of hope, but consistency remains elusive.
Their recent performances suggest a team in need of a spark. The midfield duo of Nkololo and Liangming will be crucial if they are to turn their fortunes around. However, their defensive frailties could be their undoing once again.Beijing Guoan’s form has been less than stellar, with only one win in their last five matches.
