Meizhou Hakka vs Beijing Guoan Prediction
This fixture remains a tough challenge to negotiate for the hosts as they look to get their first win of the competition. Their inability to find the back of the net on a consistent basis has pummeled them to the bottom half of the division already. Beijing Guoan present a formidable challenge in terms of form and squad profile. They will hope that their Serbian forward, Aleksa Vukanovic, can return to form and help them to pull off an upset.
Nevertheless, a win for Beijing Guoan is on the cards.
Prediction: Meizhou Hakka 1-3 Beijing Guoan
