Zhejiang Professional
Game Prediction
Tuesday will traditionally be a time for the Champions League, not only in Europe but also in Asia, where the group stage is reaching its climax. One of the matches will even be an intercontinental clash as Melbourne City hosts Zhejiang Professional. This is a situation where both teams desperately need a victory. The website has posted a forecast and preview for the match on December 12, 2023.
Melbourne City has encountered a challenging start to the new campaign
Despite their status as an international franchise since 2014, previously known as "Melbourne Heart," being in the same structure as Manchester City has not always worked to their advantage. While they secured the A-League title three times consecutively from 2020 and were finalists three times, this season has presented difficulties. They struggled in the A-League, losing three times in the first five matches, and in the AFC Champions League, after amassing seven points in the initial group stage, they faltered with a home defeat to Buriram United and a draw against Ventforet Kofu in Japan.

Zhejiang Professional, known as the "Green Giants," may not be considered among the football powerhouses in China, but recent years have seen them make significant strides
After securing a third-place finish in the 2021 season, marking their return to the top division, they replicated this achievement in the current year. Despite their participation in the AFC Champions League, their performance has not been stellar. However, victories against Thai Port in the qualifiers and subsequent wins at home against Ventforet Kofu and Buriram United have kept them in contention. They currently occupy the last position, and a win in this match would secure their place in the playoffs.
The teams faced each other for the first time in early October.
