Third-placed Beijing Guoan play host to Hebei CFFC, who are 13th and just six points above the relegation zone heading into this match.
But it’s the hosts, despite sitting at a good 3rd place on the table, who looks in shambles. For they come into their next game with a new coach after Roger Schmidt was sacked by the club. That’s a tad too harsh on the German Football manager considering he has guided the team to their current 3rd position on the table.
The main reason behind this unexpected turn of events is perhaps Beijing Guoan‘s group-stage exit from the AFC Champions League and the current form which has left them 4 points behind leaders Guangzhou Evergrande.
Former Lyon manager Bruno Genesio comes in as their new boss and he couldn’t have hoped for a better opponent than Hebei CFFC who are in the midst of a relegation battle.
However, the visitors have collected points in three of their last four league games, including a 3-0 win over Chongqing Lifan in the last match. They have a little bit of momentum and may feel good about their chances in this match.
