Kitchee to Win
Standings in Group J have an interesting outlook following Port FC's 3-0 dismantling of Guangzhou. Both Port and Kitchee are on equal footing, the latter enjoying a higher placement thanks to their better H2H and goal difference. While the Thai outfit has a tough task in Cerezo Osaka, Kitchee take on whipping boys Guangzhou. The Hong Kong Premier League outfit needs a win to further their chances of qualification and should be able to achieve it.
Total Goals: Over 2.5
In their 2-1 defeat to Cerezo Osaka, Kitchee showed they have the firepower to score but were kept at bay by the J1 League outfit's defence. Concerning this fixture, there have been a combined ten goals in Guangzhou and Kitchee's AFC Champions League fixtures. However, only three have come from the teams participating in this fixture. With the Chinese outfit conceding goals with rampant ease, it looks likely that the trend will continue. Expect a dominating display from Kitchee to secure the three points on offer.
Both Teams to Score: No
Cerezo Osaka and Port FC both revealed the problems in Guangzhou's defensive makeup. They were able to easily bypass their backline and scored with ease. In return, the Chinese Super League outfit had nothing to get the better of their rivals. Both matches ended in clean sheets for the victors. Kitchee has shown they can get on the scoreboard but will have to prove their credentials at the back after conceding two against Cerezo Osaka.
Guangzhou vs Kitchee: Team News and Match Preview
Guangzhou
The South China Tigers have withered against continental rivals. More was expected from the team that finished second in the Chinese Super League but with just four matches under their belt, they seem to struggle with early-season jitters. Qualification for the Play-Offs is off the table for them but they will be looking for a consolation win against Kitchee. The defence has come under a lot of criticism while the attacking lineup is equally to blame. Cardoso Elkeson has been their best player in midfield and his absence has undoubtedly affected their cause.
Kitchee
It is the Bluebirds turn to pile misery on Guangzhou's miseries. Kitchee has the chance to get acclaim as the second-best side in Group J and cannot afford to lose this opportunity that can lead to a Play-Off position. All eyes will be on Dejan Damjanovic, who has scored four goals in his last three competitive outings. The Montenegran is in the form of his life, with 19 goals in 16 matches. Damjanovic is ably aided by the presence of Cleiton, who continues to weave his magic on a football pitch at the age of 34.
