In the latest round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Wuhan and Dalian face off in a crucial match that could determine who emerges as the confirmed champions of the season.
The two teams have been among the favorites to win the CSL title this year, but the match-up between them has taken on added significance after both teams lost key players during the international break.
Wuhan, who won the CSL last season, will be looking to bounce back from their recent losses, while Dalian, who finished second behind Wuhan, will be eager to prove they can compete with the defending champions.
With only one point separating the two teams at the top of the standings, any slip-up could see either team fall out of contention for the title. And so it is no surprise that both sides will be playing with extra motivation and intensity in what promises to be an exciting match-up.
Despite the pressure, both teams have a strong record against each other, with Wuhan having won four of the past five meetings between the two sides. However, Dalian have not lost since January 2018, and will undoubtedly be confident of pulling off a shock result.
As the match approaches, fans and analysts alike will be eagerly anticipating the outcome. It promises to be a thrilling clash of titans, with both teams desperate to emerge victorious and claim the title that eluded them last time around.
