CPK is clearly an ambitious club. The match against Guangzhou R&F on 8 Dec will give their players a good warm up. If the match up is true, Kitchee is not on very good form right now, but I still don't think CPK will spring a surprise, unless they sign up some big name foreigners.
In any other year, I could guarantee you that there will be more Kitchee fans in the stands in Macau than CPK fans. But of course, given their domestic results and given other things that have happened in Hong Kong, I'm not so sure anymore. It's unfortunate because Macau and Hong Kong would be fantastic away days for travelling supporters.

Interestingly, the AFC has uploaded what I presume is the final list of clubs licensed for the AFC Cup. https://www.the-afc.com/afc/documents/PDFFiles/list-of-licensed-clubs-for-the-afc-cup-2020 It appears that Mongolia will indeed participate while no North Korean clubs are listed.

https://www.exmoo.com/article/164195.html Benfica Macau has won the Taca de Macau 2020. Before the match both Benfica Macau and MUST CPK are on equal points and equal goal differenece, so Macau FA actually arranged for their final matches to take place at different venues at the same time. Both clubs went all out to score as many as they can and Benfica Macau managed to put 23 pass their opponent. Well done Benfica Macau. Now we will wait and see if Benfica Macau qualifies to play in the 2021 AFC Cup, as this "season" was played over only one single round of matches, rather than the traditional two.
https://www.the-afc.com/documents/list-of-licensed-clubs-for-afc-cup-2021 Both Benfica Macau and MUST CPK have been granted 2021 AFC Cup club licenses, so they should be eligible to play in 2021 AFC Cup. Now let's see how this unfolds.

I am just wondering if AFC will allow Macau to join the 2023 Asian Cup qualifying play-off round (before the third round) if Macau applied? There are supposed to be 12 teams involved, but now there are only 11. But I wouldn't blame the AFC if they refused to let Macau in. The Macau FA does not deserve it.
MUST CPK has beaten Benfica Macau 4-1 in their second match up. As there are only 3 more rounds to go and MUST CPK has a 9 point advantage, even if Benfica Macau can match them on points they would lose on direct confrontation, so MUST CPK has won the Macau Elite League once again. https://www.tdm.com.mo/c_news/tv_news.php?id=524429

They beat Ching Feng after sudden death penalties 6-5 after a 0-0 draw at the end of 120 minutes. It is MUST CPK's first double in the club's history.
