Chinese Super League Preview: Wuhan Three Towns Show Strong Recovery in Form, Wei Shihao Aims to Lead Chengdu Rongcheng to Consecutive Wins

On July 20 at 19:35, the Chinese Super League (CSL) Round 24 match will see Wuhan Three Towns host Chengdu Rongcheng. Currently, Wuhan Three Towns is mid-table in the league standings, while Chengdu Rongcheng’s third-place position appears unassailable for now.

In the current CSL standings, Wuhan Three Towns has 22 points from 6 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses, placing them eighth in the league; Chengdu Rongcheng stands third with 41 points from 13 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses.

During a previous period, Wuhan Three Towns began to lag after one win and four losses but has shown signs of recovery with one win and one draw in their last two away matches. Although currently in eighth place, Wuhan Three Towns is only six points above the relegation zone, meaning they are not yet entirely safe from relegation risks and cannot afford to relax.

The most reliable striker for Wuhan Three Towns is undoubtedly Pedro Enrique, who has contributed 13 goals and one assist this season, serving as a barometer for the team’s offensive performance. The team’s second-highest scorer, Dulan (3 goals, 2 assists), lags significantly behind in terms of efficiency. Jiang Zhipeng’s overlapping runs in attack also pose a significant threat, having scored 2 goals and provided 6 assists, making him a key weapon.

Chengdu Rongcheng is currently third in the league, eight points behind Shanghai Greenland Shenhua ahead of them, but seven points clear of Beijing Guoan below them, making their current position quite solid. Chengdu Rongcheng has won four consecutive matches in the CSL, demonstrating excellent form, and has also reached the quarter-finals of the Chinese FA Cup, mounting a double-fronted challenge for AFC Champions League qualification.

Leading the line for Chengdu Rongcheng is Felipe Silva (11 goals, 5 assists), who has been highly efficient. Wei Shihao has contributed 8 goals and 2 assists, showing good competitive form, while Zhou Dingyang (6 goals, 2 assists) and Ramires (5 goals, 5 assists) are also significant threats. This makes Chengdu Rongcheng a multi-pronged attacking force, difficult for opponents to contain. Notably, Chengdu Rongcheng’s foreign player Andriyko has been loaned out to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the K League 1. The impact of his departure on the team will be closely watched.

In head-to-head encounters, Wuhan Three Towns has 2 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses against Chengdu Rongcheng, putting them at a disadvantage. At Wuhan Three Towns’ home ground, both teams have won one match each, with two draws, resulting in an even split in their previous meetings.
