Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC vs Meizhou Hakka FC Prediction: Expecting The Home Side To Record A Narrow Win

Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC will welcome Meizhou Hakka FC to the Cangzhou Stadium in the 27th round of the Super League. 

Meizhou Hakka FC have not been at their best form when playing away, going winless in ten matches, and they could find themselves on the receiving end of an unfavorable outcome for failing to pick up the gauntlet and put in a more convincing performance.

Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC vs. Meizhou Hakka FC, probable lineups, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Form: LLLLL

Cangzhou Mighty Lions were faced with another tough assignment in their most recent match against Shanghai Shenhua, as they failed to be a little more creative with the ball to settle for a favorable outcome and suffered a convincing 2-0 defeat.

This was their successive 2-0 loss on the road, having been dealt a similar outcome against Wuhan Three Towns before that to drop points. Away from home, they have extended their losing run to four matches.

However, a poor display on the road is the least of their problems at the moment, as they have struggled for consistency in the league, recording five consecutive losses while conceding 16 goals, and it's safe to say that motivation levels are low as they seek to get back on track.

They currently occupy eleventh place, 30 points behind twelfth-placed Meizhou Hakka FC, and are eleven points ahead of the relegation zone. Their aspirations for a tenth-place finish are hindered by a mere two-point deficit.

Formation: 3-4-3

With the odds stacked in their favor for them to build up on their momentum and secure a second consecutive victory at home, Meizhou Hakka fell short of achieving such a feat in their recent match against Henan FC at home, where they were outplayed but managed to salvage a point in a goalless draw.

Prior to that, they made it a certainty to annihilate basement boys Shenzhen FC by instilling a crushing 5-1 defeat on them at home to put on board three points.

So far they find themselves on a two-match unbeaten run in the league and have suffered just two losses in eight matches alongside four wins and two draws to accumulate 14 points from a possible 24. There's no doubt that this is a side that has been in consistent form and will be eager to extend their unbeaten run to three matches. 

They currently occupy twelfth place with 30 points level with their opponents in this impending encounter, and securing three points will be at the top of their bucket list.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Cangzhou Mighty Lions have started to drop the ball in the crucial stages of the season, though they can breathe a sigh of relief that they are not in any way involved in a relegation scramble. With home advantage at their disposal, this is undeniably the time for them to make amends for their poor form by claiming a comfortable win.

Meizhou Hakka have nothing to complain about when it comes to their performance in recent matches, though they would have preferred to be in their best form. Away from home, they have been a walking disaster, as they are winless in ten matches, recording eight losses and two draws. Such a poor showing could see them drop points in this one.

Given that the home side holds the upper hand in the head-to-head meetings of this fixture, coupled with the visitors erratic away form in the league, we anticipate a hard-fought win for Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC by picking them up in the full-time market.
