Beijing Guoan vs Hebei CFFC prediction, preview, team news and more | Chinese Super League 2020

A busy round of Group B fixtures of the Chinese Super League sees pacesetters Beijing Guoan lock horns with Hebei CFFC at the Suzhou City Sports Centre tomorrow.

The club from the Chinese capital have led the race this season, winning each of their opening three matches. They have dispatched teams of course, but have also portrayed a never-say-die attitude whenever they've been in trouble.

Despite Yang Fan's 25th minute red card in their season opener, Beijing Guoan pipped Chongqing Lifan by 2-1, which speaks volumes of their character.

Hebei have undergone contrasting fortunes in the CSL this season, managing just two points from their games so far. Much like many other sides in the group, they are struggling to find a way through to three points.

Superior quality, confidence and recent results against Hebei make Beijing instant favourites, as they are the only team left in the division with a perfect record. Goals from Renato Augusto and Cedric Bakambu capped off a comfortable win for the CSL powerhouse the last time these two teams met.

Can Hebei turn unlikely winners on Wednesday, or will Beijing's merry run continue? We bring everything you need to know ahead of Beijing Guoan's clash against an out-of-sorts Hebei CFFC.
