Wuhan Three Towns

Form: WDLWW

Wuhan Three Towns couldn't step up to the challenge when it mattered most as they succumbed to a disappointing 2:0 defeat at the hands of Nantong Zhiyun FC in the fourth round of the CFA Cup, which came as a shock considering that this is a side that they thoroughly beat 5:0 in the league about two months ago.

In the Super League, they asserted their dominance even further against Meizhou Hakka FC, extending their winning streak against them to six matches as an Abdul-Aziz Yakubu brace witnessed them romp to a 2:1 victory.

With that win, they managed to snap their two-match winless run in the league: a 3:1 defeat to Shanghai Port FC on the road and a 1:1 draw to Beijing Guoan FC on the road. In their last eight matches, they've been in consistent form, settling for four draws, three wins, and a loss.

They presently occupy seventh place with 27 points, one point ahead of Changchun Yatai FC in eighth place and two points behind fourth place. Failure to claim all three points in this clash could see them dragged down the standings.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Qingdao Hainiu FC

Form: LWWDD

The Sea Bulls at this point can be considered the prodigal son that has returned to claim what is rightfully his, and this is in line with their participation in the CFA Cup, where there's more to their history than meets the eye as this is a side that won the trophy in this competition back in 2002. They managed to beat Changchun Yatai FC in the fourth round to book their place in the quarterfinals.

In the Super League, they made the trip to Beijing to lock horns with Beijing Guoan FC at the Workers Stadium, and they were unfortunate not to have picked up a positive result as they bowed down to a 2:0 defeat.

With that defeat, their four-match unbeaten run in the league came to an end, where two wins and two draws were recorded. Instead of feeling somewhat downbeat, they'll be buoyed by their success in the CFA Cup coming into this encounter to pick up a positive result.

They presently occupy eleventh place with 16 points, level on point with Henan FC in twelfth place and Meizhou Hakka FC in thirteenth place, while they have maintained a four-point advantage over the relegation zone.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips

Wuhan Three Towns have been in fine form thus far when playing at home with two consecutive wins, and it's without a shadow of doubt that they'll want to add a third win to their portfolio as they take on a side that has shown close to nothing with their performance on the road.

Qingdao Hainiu FC have the worst away record this season, which has them ranked number one, having picked up just two points from their nine away matches in the league. Nothing much can be expected from them here other than a convincing loss.

As mentioned above, nothing much can be expected from Qingdao Hainiu FC in this clash; however, we anticipate them to have enough firepower at their disposal to find the back of the net here against a side that has seen goals at both ends of the pitch in five consecutive matches.
