Henan Jianye vs Shanghai East Asia FC
Henan Jianye sought to win a fourth straight victory in the CSL competition. However, the effort will get a tough test from Shanghai East Asia which also holds a personal mission. The second clash of teams was held on match day 10 at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium on Friday (5/17).
In the previous week Henan Jianye managed to bring a score of 2-3 from Hebei CFFC headquarters through the Fanck Ohandza brace. The opportunity to add to the advantage was open when Jin Yangyang was sent off 3 minutes before dispersal, but the position did not change until the long whistle.
With that score, Henan Jianye means it managed to record 3 consecutive wins since the end of last month when facing Jiangsu Suning and Beijing Renhe. It’s just that the CSL public still doubts that achievement because it was helped by a red card in the last two matches.
Celebrations of victory were also heard from Shanghai East Asia headquarters last week when they won 2-1 over Shandong Luneng. It’s just that they must pay the price of the win because Wei Zhen received a red card on 71 minutes.
Shanghai East Asia is certain to return to aiming for maximum points, especially if the match yesterday managed to add an unbeaten record to 5 matches in the local league and Asia. In more detail, now they have recorded 3 wins and 2 draws since the end of last month.
The urge to win was even harder after Shanghai East Asia landed runner-up with a difference of 5 points from the top. Moreover, they also have an impressive record for Henan Jianye with five consecutive wins since July 2016, including 2 times to Zhengzhou Hanghai with a score of 2-4 and 1-2.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.70
