Chengdu Rongcheng

Form: WWDLW

Coming off a 6-0 win over Hebei FC at home, they collected three points, and prior to that, they had won 0-1 on the road against Wuhan Three Towns, and they have been on an impressive run in the Super League thus far.

On a two-match winning streak in the last five matches with ten points accrued, their form has been consistent, and while there haven't been any signs of a stuttering performance, improvement is definitely required moving forward.

With a total of 11 points In their last seven home games, they've done well to maintain a solid form, and as evidenced by their 6-goal thriller against Hebei FC, it's safe to say they've been susceptible to lapses in concentration when playing at home.

Currently in 8th place with 38 points, they have unexpectedly found themselves in a race for a third place finish or a better position in the rankings if their plans fail, and with a 3 point deficit away from a 5th place finish, eking out a victory will be the only result they'll want to walk away with, and anything less won't help their cause much.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-4-1

Z. Yan (33); K. Min-woo (11), R. Hu (5), R. Windbichler (40), T. Liu (26), R. Gan (17); M. Iminqari (29), G. Chao (39), T. Chow (8), Romulo (10); Saldanha (12).

Changchun Yatai

Form: DWLLD

With 55% possession and 8 shots, two of which were on target, their performance was outstanding, as they miraculously managed to walk away with a point against Shanghai Shenhua at home after holding them to a scoreless draw.

Prior to that, they managed to get all three points against Meizhou Hakka at home with a 1-0 scoreline after experiencing a two-match losing streak, in which they suffered a 1-4 home defeat to Shanghai SIPG and another 0-1 home defeat to Beijing Guoan.

With two losses, two draws, and a win for a total of five points, their form has been balanced on a ledge between consistency and inconsistency, with one wrong step leading to inconsistency. They are currently placed in 10th place in the standings.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-2

W. Take (23); H. Wang (25), S. Jie (5), J. Okore (4), W. Rao (31), Q. Cui (21); Serginho (10), Y. Zhang (20), J. Wang (8); T. Long (29), C. Changcheng (13).

Expert Betting Tips

Chengdu Rongcheng's morale is high after defeating Hebei FC, and there's no doubt that they'll want to ride that momentum into this match by extending their winning streak to two games against a side that, in the current circumstances, appears to be evenly matched with them.

Changchun Yatai did get a lucky break in their match against Shanghai Shenhua, and in all honesty, their performance was at its best, but that should change for the better in this encounter, as they have the potential to derail the hosts' quest for victory.
