Dalian Pro will play host to Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC at the Dalian Sports Center Stadium for the 6th round of the Super League.

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

Dalian Pro

Form: LDDLW

The Blue Hawks failed to be a little more creative with the ball in their recent match against Shanghai Shenhua on the road, which unfortunately led to their demise as they fell to a 1:0 defeat to drop all three points.

In that game, they managed to play out a scoreless draw for almost the entirety of the game but were unfortunate enough to concede a goal in the 82nd minute to see their hopes of salvaging a point crushed.

While there was a glimmer of hope that they were destined for greater heights this season when they recorded their first win against Nantong Zhiyun FC at home 2:1 in their opening game, unfortunately, a four-match winless run with two draws and two losses has seen all that destined endeavour look unpromising as they have been in inconsistent form.

They presently occupy 8th place with 5 points and are three points behind 6th place, while they have maintained a 1 point lead over Shenzhen FC (13th) and Qingdao Hainiu FC (14th).

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

C. Zhang; X. Wang, J. Huang, L. Longchang; L. Le, Y. Fei, N. Bosancic, T. Zhu; S. Mamba, C. Manzoki, Y. Shang

Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC

Form: WDLLD

Going into this game, Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC made the trip to Shenzhen Universiade Sports Centre to lock horns with Shenzhen FC in what turned out to be a tight encounter, but Jürgen Locadia's solitary goal in the opening 18 minutes ensured that the three points were theirs for the taking as the game concluded 1:0 in their favour.

Prior to that, they managed to salvage a point in a 1:1 draw against Nantong Zhiyun FC at home despite being at a numerical disadvantage for almost the entirety of the game, and though this wasn't the result they had anticipated as they had their sights set on the full package containing three points, it was more than what they could bargain for.

Zhao Junzhe's men have snapped a four-match winless run that witnessed them record two losses and two draws, and it goes without saying that they were in inconsistent form. They'll be looking forward to extending their winning streak to two matches by claiming a comfortable win against their opponents in this encounter.

They presently occupy 12th place with 5 points and are three points behind 6th place, while maintaining a 1 point lead over Shenzhen FC (13th) and Qingdao Hainiu FC (14th). However, they'll have their eyes set on a 7th-place finish if the situation allows them to do so.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

S. Puliang; Y. Yun, M. Skoric, Y. Liu; Q. Sun, Z. Kaimu, W. Peng, Z. Honglue; O. Maritu, J. Locadia, D. Owusu
