Neutral30%
The clean sheet percentage (31.58%) is at an average level, indicating that the defense has many areas to improve, but does not directly affect the position at the top of the league table
Recent form has seen a streak of three consecutive draws (DDD), however, the team still maintains the top position, reflecting stability in their fighting spirit.
An average of 7.6 corners per game demonstrates good control of the game, but is not sufficient to guarantee a winning result in matches against strong opponents
Negative20%
Defensive instability, especially in the last two losses (Dalian Yingbo 2-0, Shanghai Port 1-0), where they failed to score and lost by the narrowest of margins, highlights a weakness in defense against disciplined teams
The high number of yellow cards (2.3 cards per game) reflects a lack of discipline in play, especially in draws (four consecutive draws), affecting the ability to maintain control of the game.
The absence of key forward Felipe Sousa (last 5 games) has created a gap in the attack, forcing the coach to increasingly rely on backup options (Wang Ziming, Behram Abduweli) who have not yet demonstrated consistent effectiveness.
Beijing GuoanPositive40%

Beijing Guoan scored 19 goals in 10 matches, averaging 1.9 goals per game, with the percentage of matches with 3 or more goals (Over 2.5) reaching 60%, indicating their proactive and effective attacking style.
Goalkeeper Hou Sen is an irreplaceable cornerstone, contributing to keeping a clean sheet in 2 out of 10 matches and demonstrating stability in crucial situations
Beijing Guoan is effectively controlling the game, with an average of 7.7 corners per match, including 3 matches where they exceeded 8 corners, reflecting their ability to control the ball and create scoring opportunities
Neutral30%
Beijing Guoan is currently ranked 7th in the Chinese Super League 2026 with 22 points from 18 matches, indicating stable performance but not enough to compete for the top positions.
Beijing Guoan has a goal difference of +6 (scored 30 goals, conceded 24 goals), reflecting the balance between attack and defense, although not particularly impressive.
The 4-4-2 tactical formation has remained stable in 8 out of 10 recent matches, demonstrating consistency in their playing style but also limiting flexibility when facing other formations
Negative30%
Beijing Guoan's defense is unstable, conceding 12 goals in 10 matches and keeping a clean sheet only twice, revealing defensive vulnerabilities and poor ability to respond to counter-attacks.
Beijing Guoan received a total of 13 yellow cards in 10 matches, an average of 1.3 cards per game, reflecting a lack of discipline in confrontations, especially in draws (1-1, 2-2)
Over-reliance on key players such as Hou Sen, Yue Tze-Nam, and Boubacar Konte has caused the lineup to lack depth, with many substitutes like Chi Zhongguo and Abduhamit Abdugheni lacking consistency in their roles.
The absence of key players such as Wang Gang (defender) and Zhang Xizhe (midfielder) creates a gap in the team's play, reducing the ability to control the central area and the flexibility in the midfield
