Beijing Guoan host Yunnan Yukun in the CFA Super League, and CheckLive sees no favourite in this one. Both sides arrive in strong form, so it is a fixture that could genuinely go either way, with a draw very much part of the picture. League points are at stake and the teams look closely matched.
Beijing Guoan are unbeaten in five, with wins over Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 4-2, Sichuan Jiuniu 4-0, Zhejiang 2-1 and Dalian Kewei 2-1, plus a 2-2 draw at Chengdu Rongcheng. Yunnan Yukun have won four of their last five, beating Dalian Zhixing FC 3-1, Chengdu Rongcheng 1-0, Sichuan Jiuniu 4-3 and Chengdu Rongcheng 6-5 in the cup, with the only defeat a 2-3 loss at Tianjin. Both teams have scored plenty recently.
The head-to-head is clearly in Beijing's favour: four meetings, three Beijing wins and one draw, with Yunnan yet to beat them. Their last league meeting ended 3-3, which suggests this could be another open, attacking contest. The key is whether Beijing can control the game or Yunnan can finally turn a close record into a first win.
