After completing 20 rounds of intense competition in the 2023 Chinese Super League season, the title race and the relegation battle are starting to take shape. Shanghai Seaport has emerged as the clear frontrunner for the championship, while Shenzhen, Dalian, and Nantong Zhiyun find themselves fighting for survival.
Leading the pack with an impressive record of 15 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss, Shanghai Seaport currently sits comfortably at the top of the table with 49 points. With star players Oscar and Wu Lei showcasing exceptional performances, their deadly pass-and-shoot combination has made them the strongest local forward pairing in the Chinese Super League. It is no wonder that Shanghai Seaport is poised to claim the coveted Super League championship. The addition of Vargas to the team’s roster further strengthens their attack, making them a force to be reckoned with. Despite Shandong Taishan showing resilience and gaining valuable points in recent matches, the 14-point gap between the two teams seems insurmountable. With only 10 games remaining in the season, it is highly unlikely that Shandong Taishan can catch up to the leaders.
On the other end of the table, Shenzhen finds themselves in the unenviable position of being at the bottom with 12 points. Struggling with financial difficulties, the team’s woes have taken a toll on their performance, making relegation seemingly inevitable. Dalian and Nantong Zhiyun, ranked just above Shenzhen, are also in a precarious position with 15 points each. Despite facing their own challenges, Dalian has shown promise under the passionate leadership of coach Xie Hui. A recent 2-1 victory over Shanghai Shenhua has lifted their spirits and boosted their chances of escaping relegation. Nantong Zhiyun, a newly promoted team, is grappling with limited resources and experience but remains determined to fight until the end.
As the three teams battle it out for the remaining relegation spot, personal opinions lean towards Dalian being the most likely to secure their top-flight status for another season. Their tenacity and never-give-up attitude have won the hearts of many supporters. However, the final outcome remains uncertain, and anything can happen in the remaining matches.
