Latest China vs Hong Kong football commentary
After two consecutive defeats against South Korea and Japan without scoring a goal, China has officially lost the chance to win the championship. The statistics partly reveal the disappointment of this team when they conceded 5 goals and did not score a single goal. However, in the honorable match against a more equal opponent, Hong Kong, coach Durdevic's team still has a chance to close the tournament with a consolation victory.
Hong Kong are not doing much better, conceding eight goals in two games and only scoring a consolation goal against Japan. Their defense is fragile and often leaves gaps when under pressure. That will be an opportunity for China's attack to exploit, especially when Zhang Yuning and his teammates are expected to have more room to play than when facing "big guys" like Japan or Korea.
In terms of squad quality and head-to-head record, China still has the upper hand. They won 2, drew 2 and lost only 1 in the last 5 meetings with Hong Kong. In the context that both teams have been eliminated, the match is likely to be more open, but coach Durdevic needs to improve the way he organizes the attack so that his opponent does not predict him like in the last two matches. It is predicted that this will be an easy victory for China, although not overwhelming.
