Shenzhen Pen City vs Meizhou Hakka: Chinese Championship Match Prediction

Shenzhen Pen City won promotion to the Super League last season. In 2023, the hosts finished first in League One, eight points ahead of Qingdao West Coast. It was immediately obvious that the newcomer would face a tough fight for survival, and so it turned out.

The team didn't look so bad before, but in the last matches they completely fell apart. The club from Shenzhen suffered six defeats in a row and still risks falling into the relegation zone. After losing to the current champion, Shanghai Port (0:2), the team lost to another newcomer to the league, Qingdao West Coast (2:3), and in the last round they were routed at home by Shandong Taishan (1:4). It is good that in two of the three remaining matches they will have to meet clubs from the relegation zone.
