Wuhan Three Towns: Form and Statistics

Form: DLWWD

Wuhan Three Towns are in their fourth straight season in the Chinese Super League. Things have not been the same since the team clinched its first-ever trophy three years ago in what was also their debut season in the top-flight.

After that historic moment, their dominance in the top-flight waned. They finished in 7th and 11th place in 2023 and 2024, respectively. In the current campaign, they are placed in 11th place on 19 points and are three points adrift of seventh-placed, indicating another run filled with less delight.

Zhuoxiang Deng's charges are also set to conclude the season trophyless after being eliminated in the third round of the Chinese FA Cup by Shaanxi Union FC, losing 2-1 on May 20. To restore their confidence, they went on a two-match winning streak in the league, defeating Qingdao Hainiu and Shenzhen Peng City. However, their resurgence was short-lived, suffering a 3-0 away league defeat against Shandong Taishan before holding Chengdu Rongcheng FC in a recent thrilling 2-2 home draw.

Wuhan Three Towns: Team News

Alexandru Tudorie is Wuhan Three Town's focal point of attack this season. The Romanian has scored eight goals and is the league's joint-fourth top goalscorer. He has scored in six of his last eight games for the team and will be itching to get on the scoreboard here.

Jinbao Zhong is also another name that needs to be watched out for. Introduced as a substitute in the thrilling 2-2 draw against Chengdu Rongcheng, he completely changed the game and provided a crucial assist in that game.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-1-2-3): Guo; Chen, Park, He, Deng; Long; Darlan, Gustavo Sauer; Palacios, Tudorie, Zheng.

⛔️ Out: Minzhe Wei (suspended).

👤 Head coach: Zhuoxiang Deng.

Qingdao West Coast: Form and Statistics

Form: WLLDD

Qingdao West Coast are in their second straight season after finishing in tenth place in the previous season, avoiding the red dotted line by a mere five points. In the current campaign, they are challenging for a top-five finish as they find themselves in eighth place and four points behind fifth-placed Shandong Taishan.

The True Warrior's were plagued with inconsistency in the league before their narrow 1-0 win against rivals Qingdao Hainiu. Before this morale-boosting outcome, they had failed to win in any of their six games, recording three draws and three losses.

The root of their problem was well-reported during this unwanted run. They had no cutting edge in the final third as they failed to score in five of those games. The situation becomes even worse, knowing that they have lost two consecutive away matches by a 1-0 scoreline.

Qingdao West Coast: Team News

Qingdao West Coast's talisman Abdul-Azis Yakubu will be out to haunt his former employers, Wuhan Three Towns. On loan from Shimizu S-Pulse, the 26-year-old has been directly involved in ten goal involvements this season, scoring six and dishing out four assists.

The visitors have no injury news to report and enter this match with a clean bill of health. However, they will have to do without the services of midfielder Matheus Indio, who is serving the last of his two-match ban after exceeding the yellow card threshold.

🔖 Probable Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Li; Zhao, Wang, Riccieli, Yang; Zhang, Xu; Davidson, Duan, Da Luz; Yakubu.

⛔️ Out: Matheus Indio (suspended), Huanhuan Shan (inactive).

👤 Head coach: Jiayi Shao.

Wuhan Three Towns are the favorites coming into this game. Their form at home has been impressive. They have suffered just two defeats in eight games. I see them kicking up all three points in front of their fans.

Qingdao West Coast have shown close to nothing with their performance on the road. This is a team that has gone four matches without a win. To add insult to injury, they are winless in four games heading into this clash. That said, I am backing Wuhan Three Towns to secure a hard-fought win in this one.
