On July 21st at 7:35 PM, the 24th round of the CSL will see a key match, with Beijing Guoan hosting Tianjin Tigers at home. The former, with one game in hand, is 8 points behind third place, while the latter is in seventh place, with little to play for.
Beijing Guoan has had a mixed season, with a record of 10 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in 19 rounds, placing them fourth in the standings with 34 points. Overall, their performance has been decent. However, they are 17 points behind Shanghai SIPG at the top, making a title challenge practically impossible. They are also 15 points behind Shanghai Shenhua in second place, making it quite difficult to qualify for the AFC Champions League elite league next season.
In June, Beijing Guoan enjoyed a good run, winning 4 out of 5 matches, including a 2-0 victory over their arch-rivals Shandong Taishan. However, their performance in July has been far from impressive. They first lost 1-2 to Wuhan Three Towns, followed by a disastrous 1-5 defeat at the hands of league leaders Shanghai SIPG, suffering their second consecutive loss in the league. Although they managed to secure a 3-1 victory over Wuxi Wuhook in the FA Cup, advancing to the round of 16, their overall performance has been unsatisfactory.
Beijing Guoan’s attacking prowess is lacking, having scored only 36 goals in 19 rounds, averaging just 1.89 goals per game. When compared to their rivals, Chengdu Rongcheng has scored 46 goals in the same period, Shanghai Shenhua 44 goals, and Shanghai SIPG a staggering 59 goals, highlighting the gap between Beijing Guoan and the top three teams.
Of course, Beijing Guoan also has room for improvement on the defensive end. They have conceded 25 goals in 19 rounds, averaging 1.3 goals per game. This is 6 more than Chengdu Rongcheng, 8 more than Shanghai SIPG, and 17 more than Shanghai Shenhua, who have the best defense. Overall, Beijing Guoan ranks fourth in both attack and defense, reflecting their current league position.
Tianjin Tigers have not replicated their impressive performance from last season, but they have still managed to secure 6 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses in 19 rounds, placing them seventh with 24 points. While a top-three finish seems unlikely, they are 8 points clear of Qingdao West Coast in second-last place, making relegation a non-issue. In their last 10 matches, Tianjin Tigers have won 4 games but have also suffered 4 defeats, along with 3 draws, giving them a win rate of just 40%, a sign of their inconsistent form.
Tianjin Tigers’ goalscoring ability is also average, with only 29 goals in 19 matches, averaging 1.5 goals per game. Their conceded goals tally is 26, comparable to Beijing Guoan, suggesting they are a team with a weak attack but decent defense.
Beijing Guoan has won 7 of their last 10 home matches, drawing once and losing twice, achieving a win rate of 70%. Meanwhile, Tianjin Tigers have won 5 of their last 10 away games, drawing once and losing four, with a win rate of 50%. In the last 10 encounters, Beijing Guoan has won 6, drawn 3, and lost only 1, demonstrating their dominance over Tianjin Tigers. If we consider only CSL matches, Beijing Guoan has remained undefeated in their last 19 matches at Workers’ Stadium against Tianjin Tigers, securing 10 wins and 9 draws!
There’s no doubt that both Beijing Guoan and Tianjin Tigers have been in inconsistent form lately, but Workers’ Stadium seems to be an impenetrable fortress for the Tianjin Tigers!
