GED vs BEI Dream11 Prediction | Chinese Super League – Beijing Guoan vs Guangzhou Evergrande, Fantasy Team News

GED vs BEI Dream11 Match Preview, Team News, Lineups

It’s the marquee fixture in the Chinese Super League this weekend as 2nd placed Beijing Guoan prepare to host the leaders Guangzhou Evergrande in the league at Beijing Workers’ Sports Stadium.

The decision to sack Roger Schmidt as the head coach came out of the blue, but it also sets the precedent for the new manager Bruno Génésio that failing to match the lofty ambitions of the owners could well bring him in the hot water.

Beijing have made a good start under him, winning 2-0 against Hebei CFFC in his only match as the manager of this club. But Evergrande are a totally different beast, the biggest challenge for any team in the Chinese Super League.

If the 52-year-old masterminds a win against the visitors, though it was any way harsh to sack Schmidt, the decision to appoint him as the manager may look like a move in the right direction.

While Guangzhou Evergrande know that a win here at the home of their nearest challenger will give them all the advantages in the title race.

Beijing Guoan Team News:

• Spanish midfielder Jonathan Viera remains on the sidelines due to a knee injury. There is no set timeline when the 29-year-old could make a return to the action.

• Another Guoan player who may miss this player is Zhang Xizhe. The 28-year-old midfielder has had some fitness issues of late.

Possible INs and OUTs of this game:

• The change came at the back in the last game as Min-Jae Kim was dropped from starting 11, with Lei Tenglong coming in to replace him. The latter should start here as well.
• We expect Wang Gang to feature at right-back ahead of Le Lei.
• Both Wang Ziming and Zhang Yuning are fit and ready to start, but there is a place for only one of them. We back Yuning to ge the preference from the manager here.

Beijing Guoan Probable XI:

Zou Dehai (GK), Wang Gang, Yu Dabao, Lei Tenglong, Wang Gang, Fernando, Chi Zhongguo, Piao Cheng, Renato Augusto, Wang Ziming / Zhang Yuning, Cedric Bakambu
