Chengdu Rongcheng FC

Form: DWWDW

Chengdu Rongcheng FC were up against Shandong Taishan at home in a match where they were considered slight favorites to cruise to a hard-fought victory, but they were unlucky not to have bagged all three points as they were held to a 2:2 draw to share the spoils.

In that match, they played out a goalless first half, but it wasn't until the second half that things got heated as they found themselves conceding the game's first goal in the 50th minute. However, Kim Min-woo pegged them back with an equalizer three minutes later, and this saw Tim Chow score what could've been the winning goal in the 81st minute before their hopes were dashed by a last-minute equalizer from their opponent.

Seo Jung-won's men have yet to suffer defeat in their last six matches; in fact, they have exceeded expectations with three wins and three draws to their name, and they will be seeking to maintain that unbeaten run by claiming a comfortable win in this encounter.

They presently occupy third place with 12 points and are four points behind first place, while they've only maintained a two-point lead over Tianjin Teda (4th) and Changchun Yatai FC (5th).

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-1-2

Changchun Yatai FC

Form: LWDLW

Changchun Yatai FC were involved in a six-goal thriller in their recent match against Meizhou Hakka FC at home, but for them it was a bitter pill to swallow as they succumbed to a disheartening 4:2 loss that saw them drop all three points.

In that match, they conceded first in the 12th minute but managed to restore parity through Peter Žulj's goal in the 23rd minute and eventually took the lead in the 44th minute, which was almost certain that they were favorites to claim a victory. However, all that changed in the second half as their performance took a decline, which saw them squander their one-goal lead as they conceded three unanswered goals to suffer the inevitable defeat.

In their last six matches, they have been treading carefully, only suffering two losses while picking up three wins and a draw, and during this period, it's safe to say they've been in consistent form.

They presently occupy 5th place with 10 points, level on points with Tianjin Teda in 4th, and are three points adrift of finishing in third place.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2
