  Info of Guangzhou Fuli FC vs Changchun Yatai Guangzhou City welcome Changchun Yatai to the Yuexiushan Stadium on Friday in round six of the 2022 Chinese Super League season. Both teams will be looking to get back to winning ways in this one having failed to come away with all three points last time out. Match preview Guangzhou City’s downward spiral continued in Monday’s meeting against Zhejiang Professional as they suffered a fifth straight defeat. Jean-Paul van Gastel’s men conceded four unanswered goals inside the opening 50 minutes to Jin Cheng, Donovan Ewolo and Franko Andrijasevic before Gong Zhang and Tixiang Li halved the deficit with two late strikes. With no points picked up from their five outings this term, the Blue Lions remain rooted to the bottom of the standings but can count themselves lucky to be only three points adrift of safety at the moment. Next up is the challenge of an opposing side who came out ...

  Info of Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras Three days after facing each other in a heated Brasileiro Serie A fixture, arch-rivals Sao Paulo and Palmeiras will do battle in the opening leg of their round of 16 Copa do Brasil clash at Estadio Cicero Pompeu de Toledo on Thursday. Palestra scored twice in the final few minutes Monday, stunning Tricolor Paulista 2-1 and extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 19 straight games. Match preview Sao Paulo looked poised to win consecutive home games but lost their focus at the most inopportune time, moving down to ninth in the table after losing a second straight domestic encounter. That was the fifth time in their previous seven domestic contests in which they had failed to hold a second-half advantage, having squandered 13 points from winning positions since May. After a pair of solid defensive outings in the first two rounds of this competition, Rogerio Ceni’s men reacted well in the second half of their opening...

  Info of Incheon United vs Gangwon FC Gangwon go into Wednesday’s K-League 1 match versus Incheon United winless in three straight matches. The Kodiaks are second from the bottom of the standings and desperately need a win to move away from the relegation places. Incheon United are fifth in the 12-team league. The Mariners are in a good position in the standings, but they are not in good form. Incheon United failed to win five of their last six matches in the K-League 1. Manager Jo Sung-hwan needs to find a win against Gangwon at home in midweek. Wins against Gangwon have not always been forthcoming for Incheon United. The Mariners have a record of 2W-1D-3L across the last six encounters. The good news for Jo is that Incheon United are unbeaten in back-to-back matches versus Gangwon. Last season, the Mariners claimed a 1-1 draw away to Gangwon. Earlier this season, the Mariners went to Gangwon again and won 1-0. The reverse fixture saw Kim Jun-Yub scored in the 87th...

  Info of Sao Paulo vs Palmeiras One of the most bitter rivalries in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A will take place on Monday as Sao Paulo host Palmeiras at Cierco Pompeu de Toledo in the first Choque-Rei derby of this domestic campaign. Verdao are top of the table, unbeaten in their last 18 matches in all competitions, while Sao Paulo fell further behind in their quest to catch them on Thursday, dropping a 1-0 decision to Botafogo. Match preview A failure to win on the road in this domestic campaign has kept Sao Paulo from contending for the title, currently seven points back of first place following their defeat this week. Unlike their rivals Palmeiras, Tricolor Paulista like to be in possession and build from the back, though it has not always produced the desired results, as they only managed two efforts on target versus Botafogo, despite having the ball for 68% of the match. With their road record hampering them, Rogerio Ceni’s men have ha...
