Unbeaten at home PK undefeated in the Super League! Who can continue the record in the battle of Lianjing?

Special correspondent Ding Xu reports The first game of the 11th round of the Chinese Super League is Dalian InBev vs. Beijing Guoan, with historical origins, attendance matchups, key player competitions, and a number of records.

Dalian InBev and Beijing Guoan have already met this year, and on January 21, the two teams met at the Mission Hills Haikou base to warm up. Guoan led 2-0 in the opening 15 minutes with own goals from Fabio and Jin Pengxiang. At the last moment of the game, Yan Xiangchuang, Liao Jintao, and Liu Yi scored 3 goals in 7 minutes, and InBev let two chase three to achieve a big reversal. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that InBev has defeated a Chinese Super League team since its establishment. In InBev's current main lineup, Sui Weijie, Rabuyad, Zhu Pengyu, and Liu Zhurun did not participate in the warm-up match at that time.

InBev has a long history with national security. InBev's Yan Xiangchuang, Lv Peng, Jin Pengxiang, and Traore 4 players have played for the Royal Forest Army, and Guoan's Lin Liangming, He Yupeng, Zhang Yuan and general manager Li Ming have all fought for Dalian. Interestingly, the players who attended the pre-match press conference were related to the past of both sides - Traore and Lin Liangming. On the evening of May 3, when the national security team flew to Zhoushuizi Airport, Lin Liangming was warmly welcomed by Dalian fans. Lin Liangming has made great achievements for the people of Dalian, and "Lin Huang" also started his Chinese Super League career from Football City and became a member of the national team.

"I've had a very pleasant life in Beijing, we must be friends off the field, not friends on the field, which is the quality that a professional athlete should have." Traoré's pre-match remarks may represent the voices of all those who have crossed paths with the two teams. "I'm going to do my best on the pitch to fight for InBev and I hope InBev wins."

At present, Guoan has scored 22 goals in one game less, which is the team with the most goals in the Chinese Super League, and InBev has only half the number of goals of the Royal Foresters. Among Guoan's 22 goals, 10 goals were scored with the right foot, 5 goals with the left foot, 5 goals with the head, 8 goals with the right foot, 3 goals with the head, and 0 goals scored with the left foot.

Guoan's average possession rate of 62 per cent ranks first in the Chinese Super League, and they are the only team to exceed 60 per cent, with a pass completion rate 10 percentage points higher than InBev (85 per cent versus 75 per cent).

At the pre-match press conference, InBev coach Li Guoxu spoke highly of Guoan's ability to control the ball. Guoan, which focuses on passing control, ranks first in the Chinese Super League with 4,847 passes, and Gonzalo contributes 502 times to the top of the team. Guoan is at the bottom of the Chinese Super League in terms of total steals, total interceptions, and total fouls, while InBev is in the middle.

The duel between Malele and Fabio is quite interesting, the former is tied for the top scorer in the InBev team with 3 goals, and has worn the captain's armband in the last 4 rounds, and the latter is the top scorer in the Chinese Super League and the assist king of the Guoan team, directly creating 10 goals (7 goals + 3 assists). In addition, Malele and Fabio were the players with the most shots (28 to 32) and shots on target (11 to 15) for their respective teams.

At the end of the 10 rounds of the Chinese Super League, InBev ranked 9th with 13 points, 8 points ahead of the relegation zone, and is a typical midstream team. Guoan has one less game, ranking 3rd with 19 points, and Guoan is in the championship group. There is a big gap in quality between the two teams.

As a promoted horse, InBev performed well at the beginning of the season, breaking the record for the highest number of points in the first 10 rounds of the Chinese Super League since 2010. InBev has been exceptionally strong at home, with 10 of its 13 points at home and an unbeaten record of three wins and one draw at Barracuda Bay. If you count last season's Central League, InBev is unbeaten in 11 home games across the season in Barracuda Bay, with a terrifying record of 9 wins and 2 draws!

At present, InBev faces the bottom 8 teams in the standings with 3 wins and 2 draws, and faces the top 8 teams in the standings with 2 draws and 3 losses. In the middle league last season, InBev scored 2 goals in a row before the end and counterattacked the Iron Man 3-2 at home, and the remaining 9 games against the top 6 teams drew 3 and lost 6 without a win. Against the champion Yukun and the third runner-up Guangzhou, InBev was killed home and away and did not score a goal, which is quite a "bullying the soft and afraid of the hard".

Guoan is the only unbeaten team in the Chinese Super League this season, and the first half of this season against BIG5 has been completed, with 2 wins and 2 draws, and the ability to play tough battles is quite strong.

In the last round of the match between InBev and Yukun, the number of spectators reached 60,699, which ranked second in the history of the Chinese Super League and the record for the largest number of spectators in a single game so far this season. Barracuda Bay averaged 53,894 spectators per game in the first four games of the season and 48,415 workers, with both teams likely to compete for the top spot in home attendance. Unbeaten at home against unbeaten in the Chinese Super League, who can break who's unbeaten golden body?

This round of home against Guoan is the first time that InBev has faced the BIG5 team at home, and it is a litmus test to test whether the Barracuda Bay home stadium is "devil". In terms of personnel, it is uncertain whether YingBev's Song Yue, Guoan's Spardjic and Wang Gang can play, and He Yupeng, Han Jiaqi, and Fan Shuangjie are definitely injured. 'At home, we'll stick to our style and play this game well.' Li Guoxu said.
