Shijiazhuang vs Hebei Match Preview

Shijiazhuang is ranked at the 5th place with seven points and comes after a single win two draws and two losses over the last five matches. It has not been a bad time for them considering they just returned in the Super League. But their only win came against struggling Tianjin which is the the worst team so far.

At home they are yet to lose a game with a win and two draws, but two out of three games were against teams ranked lower than them like Qingdao Huanghai and Tianjin Teda. In six out of seven games they failed to keep a clean sheet and conceded 10 goals so far.

Hebei, on the other hand, is ranked at the 4th place with 11 points and comes after three wins a draw and a loss over the last five matches. They had a poor start of the new season as they went for four games without a win collecting two draws and two loses, but winning the last three in a row earned them a spot in the top four which means the play offs for the title.

And I fancy them to keep this spot considering they are a better team and have a couple of quality players like Marcao or Goulart who make the difference. Also the new signing Buya Turay has adapted quite good in the squad. They have the third best attack in the group with 12 goals scored and in this winning streak they conceded just two goals which proves they have improved defensively too. 

In conclusion, I think Hebei can win this match or get at least a draw out of it. Their current form is better than their rivals and like I said they are a team with tradition in the CSL. They have quality foreign players when compared to Shijiazhuang. Which doesn't convince me as a team who can fight for the title playoffs and earn a top four finish. They lack the quality needed plus they won just one of the last five h2h games against Hebei.
