Nantong Zhiyun FC hasn't experienced an impressive beginning to the season, recording one win from their last six matches, which sees them four places above the drop zone. However, the season is still too young for Mihajlo Jurasović's team to reverse their fortunes.
Mihajlo Jurasović's team made the trip to Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium to lock horns with Henan FC in their latest match. Despite falling behind to Oliver Gerbig's goal in the 56th minute, they were able to restore parity nine minutes later thanks to Jesús Godínez's strike to play out a 1-1 draw. However, this extended their winless run in the league to two matches (L1, D1), and they will be aiming to return to winning ways.
With five points accumulated from six matches, Nantong Zhiyun FC currently occupies the 11th spot in the Chinese Super League standings, two points ahead of 15th-placed Meizhou Hakka FC and three points behind seventh-placed Shandong Taishan.
