Back to Asia

It was a good start in the Chinese League for Guangzhou since they registered a 3-0 win vs Tianxia. Wei Shihao and Xiaoting Feng were their scorers. They were clearly superior than their opponent and got the lead from the very beginning. Their goal is to play for one more season a leading part in the Chinese Super League, as well as the Asian Champions League. Captain Zheng Zhi is injured and won't be available for Fabio Cannavaro. All eyes are on the big stars of the team Paulinho and Talisca once again.

Hiroshima registered two draws so far in the Japanese League, 1-1 with Shimizu and a bore draw with Jubilo Iwata, both in their home. In the Asian Champions League, they eliminated Chiangrai from Thailand in penalties shoot-out and qualified to the group stage. Their weak offensive line is more than obvious, although they create some chances, they can't score with ease. They won't take many risks tonight, their main target is to defend well. 

There is a quality difference between these two teams. Guangzhou are the favourites in this one and I expect them to prove it. Hiroshima have many troubles in scoring. In my opinion, Guangzhou will win easily, at least with a two-goal difference.
