Wuhan Three Towns

Form: WWLWL

Wuhan Three Towns' exit from the Chinese FA Cup in the fourth round after recording a shock 2-0 defeat against Nantong Zhiyun on the road was confirmation that they'll be without a trophy this season. The league title, which they were supposed to defend, was also relinquished in the early stages of the season due to their slow start.

However, despite that, they can still make a name for themselves in the AFC Champions League competition, though it won't be an easy feat due to the tough competition that awaits them.

Their league outing against Nantong Zhiyun was carved in the books as nothing but a bittersweet revenge as they comfortably won 4-2 at home, and this comes after their notable 1-0 win against Chengdu Rongcheng on the road.

With 10 wins, 9 draws, and 5 losses from 24 matches played to accumulate 39 points, they currently occupy 6th place level with Zhejiang Professional FC in 5th place and are three points behind third place.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC

Form: LLLWW

Despite not having any league title aspirations, an endeavor they knew was going to turn out to be a castle in the sky, they nevertheless fancied to make a name for themselves in the Chinese FA Cup by clinching their first ever silverware, but a 2-1 defeat against Qingdao Youth Island in the third round dashed those hopes.

Their last league outing against Changchun Yatai didn't see the odds go in their favor as they convincingly lost 3-1, with Oscar Maritu's 57th equalizer serving as consolation amidst the defeat. This defeat comes after their catastrophic 5-1 thumping of Beijing Guoan at home.

For a side that was once enjoying a run of three consecutive wins, they have found maintaining a consistent form a major issue, as three consecutive losses have cast a cloud of inconsistent form over them, and given that during that time they conceded a whopping 12 goals, it underlines an improvement in their defensive department that could lead to their demise if not addressed.

With 10 losses, 8 wins, and 6 draws from 24 matches played to accumulate 30 points, they currently occupy 10th place and are two points ahead of 11th-placed Henan FC.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-3

Expert Betting Tips

Wuhan Three Towns may not be dictating the terms in the head-to-head meetings against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC with one win in their last three matches, but on paper they are the better side and should be able to see this one off with a comfortable win.

Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency, losing three matches in a row. And that's not all, as they are currently on a two-match losing streak when playing away and have only won one of their five matches. Such a poor showing spells another unfavorable outcome where points will be dropped.

Wuhan Three Towns have won five of their six home matches in the league; however, there's been an issue of vulnerability in defense, keeping just one clean sheet while conceding a goal in five, and we anticipate Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC to exploit such a defense by getting their name on the scoreboard, though that won't be enough to avoid defeat. As such, expect both sides to get on the scoreboard.
