In just two short weeks, the China Super League (CSL) will be set to resume after a long break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition has been eagerly anticipated by fans and players alike, with the aim of securing a place in the Champions League next season.
One of the key matchups that many are watching closely is the clash between Shanghai Shenxin and Beijing Guoan in round five of the CSL. Both teams have had strong performances so far this season, with Shanghai having won their last four games while Beijing have won three out of their last four.
The match-up between these two sides is expected to be highly competitive, as both teams boast some of the best players in the league. Shanghai's top scorer, Zhang Shunyu, has scored six goals in his last three matches, while Beijing's striker, Wu Yifan, has scored five goals in his last four games.
Both teams have also shown good form defensively, with Shanghai conceding only one goal in their last three matches, while Beijing have conceded just one goal in their last four games.
However, it is difficult to predict which team will come out on top in this match-up. Both teams have shown great form in recent weeks and both have the ability to score and defend well. It remains to be seen who will emerge victorious from this key matchup in round five of the CSL.
