AI match recap

This is an important meeting between two sides still trying to create separation from the lower end of the table. ZTE have been far more convincing at home than on their travels and arrive encouraged by a midweek cup win, but MTK already delivered a decisive result in the first league meeting. MTK’s forwards give them a credible transition threat, while ZTE’s clearest route is to establish wide pressure and attack the box. The short turnaround for both squads makes fresh legs and the final half-hour central to the story.
