The top three spots in the Chinese Super League table have been a real battle lately, as Beijing Guoan are just 2 points in front of the second placed GZ Evergrande FC, who are winning everything they can, on their way to the top and are now a true threat for the league leaders.
Two teams from the top half of the table will face each other on Sunday.
Tianjin Teda will be hoping to take the three points considering their home advantage, and level up points with the away side, although their goal difference is rather pitiful.
The top three teams in the standing have cut off the 4th placed Shandong Luneng with over 10 points advance, leaving them with nothing but hopes to qualify for the AFC Champions League.
This Sunday they will travel to face the relegating team of Beijing Renhe, who, on the other hand, will be desperate to earn something from this home match if they want to escape their unpleasant situation.
In a considerably tense match Dalian Yifang will face at home Henan Construction.
These two teams have a reputation of ending frequently their matches in a draw, so this very next fixture between them will probably produce the same result.
The inconsistent team of Hebei CFFC will face at home Shenzhen FC, who have been utterly disappointing lately too.
Although Hebei CFFC lost their last two matches from the league, they still look more likely to finish this match grabbing the three points.
