Beijing Guoan vs Dalian Pro Prediction

Beijing Guoan have lost their first two Chinese Super League games, and sit at the bottom of their group. Spanish forward Jonathan Viera and striker Cedric Bakambu will be crucial for them, with both players having enjoyed good stints in La Liga.

Dalian Pro, like Beijing Guoan, have lost their first two league games. They are 7th in their group, just ahead of Beijing Guoan on goal difference. The likes of young forwards Lin Liangming and Shan Huanhuan could play a key role as their campaign progresses.

Dalian Pro announced the appointment of Jose Gonzalez as the new head coach. As per some media sources in China, the 54-year-old coach is Rafa Benitez's recommendation. It's the 3rd club Jose Gonzalez takes charge in CSL after Beijing Guoan (2017) and Wuhan FC(2020). pic.twitter.com/qYKjlSbh5V
