The history of recent direct matches is favorable to the home team, which records 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches.

The Hebei CFFC is a club that never managed to conquer the Super League (Chinese Championship), having as a major highlight the fourth place conquered last season, in 2017. In the current season, the team has been doing an irregular campaign, since he won only 18 of the 48 points played, occupying the twelfth position in the Chinese Championship, five points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone. In the last five matches that Hebei CFFC played in their stadium, in four they suffered goals. We believe that in this confrontation the Hebei CFFC, despite playing at home, will suffer again goals, as the visiting team, although it is in the last position, has been scoring goals regularly.

Guizhou Zhicheng:

The away team is currently in the 16 th position, with 8 points won, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 12 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Chongqing Lifan, by (3-4). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Jiangsu Suning, by (3-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches; against 6 victories, 1 draw and 8 defeats in their stadium. In the last 9 away league matches Guizhou Zhicheng has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 27 possible. They have not been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches in this competition, he never got the comeback in the 10 games in which he suffered the first goal. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 10 away matches for all competitions: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (61′-75 ‘).

The Guizhou Zhicheng is a club that never managed to conquer the Super League, since it disputed the competition only once throughout its history, last year, when the competition finished in the eighth position. In the current season, the team has been doing a very weak campaign, conquering only 8 of the 48 points played so far, occupying the last position of the Chinese Championship, seven points behind the first team outside the relegation zone. In the last five games that Guizhou Zhicheng played as a visitor, in four he was able to score goals, even playing away from home. We believe that in this confrontation that will happen, because Guizhou Zhicheng will face a team with a fragile defensive sector, which suffers goals regularly, even playing inside their stadium.
