Beijing Beikong currently holds a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, placing them third in the league. Guangdong Southern Tigers leads the standings with an impeccable 8-0 record. Both teams have displayed impressive form at the start of the season. Beijing averages 95 points per game, boasting a high offensive efficiency. Guangdong scores an average of 96.8 points per game and exhibits a balanced performance on both offense and defense, ranking first in the league for rebounds, assists, and steals. In recent matches, Beijing Beikong suffered their first loss of the season, a home defeat of 85-91 against Zhejiang Guangsha, ending their seven-game winning streak. They are eager for a victory to regain momentum and avoid a losing streak. Guangdong Southern Tigers, on the other hand, continue their strong run, having won their last match 98-74 against Tianjin Pioneers, extending their winning streak to eight games. They are the only undefeated team in the league. Considering the teams' strengths, recent form, and injury situations, this match is expected to be closely contested. Beijing Beikong has home advantage, but the absence of Chen Yingjun significantly impacts the team's organisation, placing considerable pressure on Zhao Rui. Guangdong Southern Tigers has a relatively complete roster and a strong foreign player combination, but playing away from home and the potential presence of Zhou Qi, if fit, will pose a major challenge to the interior defence. The prediction leans towards a narrow home victory for Beijing Beikong against Guangdong Southern Tigers. Beijing needs to avoid a losing streak, and their home advantage will be crucial. However, the game is expected to be tightly fought, with the outcome potentially decided in the final moments.
