Wuhan Zall vs Cangzhou Mighty Lions F.C Prediction: The Han Army's Capabilities In This Fixture Are Being Sidelined

Wuhan Zall will be looking to end their three-match losing streak and return to winning ways as they host Cangzhou Mighty Lions F.C at the Dongxihu Sports Centre for their 18th matchday of the Super League.

The hosts' unfortunate ordeal has seen them extend their winless run to three matches, causing concern as they are placed in a precarious position in the super league standings, which could see them suffer dire consequences as their bid to finish in mid-table fades away.

While they had the opportunity to make amends for their decline in form, which has left them inconsistent, they were met with a loss last time out against Changchun Yatai, falling 2-0 to drop three points.

Things have turned out to be quite the opposite of what they expected, and it has been a perplexing phase for them as to how they ended up in 14th place on 21 points after being in 11th place prior to significant alterations.

In their recent match, Cangzhou Mighty Lions were in no mood to entertain coalition talks with Wuhan Three Towns, as their agenda was crystal clear as day the moment they set foot on the pitch, and that was to win.

They did just that, recording a narrow 4-3 victory on the road, with José Kanté's last-minute strike rescuing all three points against a formidable opponent, which came as a complete surprise for a team that had been underperforming.

Their form has not been particularly appealing, as it has been inconsistent throughout the competition, with only one win, two draws, and two losses in their last five matches to account for their five-point haul.

They are four points clear of the relegation zone and currently sit in 15th place on 15 points, three points behind Wuhan Zall, who is currently in 14th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Despite their inconsistent performance, Wuhan Zall are the underdogs in this matchup according to the bookmakers, and there is some skepticism about their chances of winning.

However, Cangzhou Mighty Lions' victory over Wuhan Three Towns was a complete surprise, and that might have given them hope that they could produce another shocking result on the road for a second time. However, given the current state of affairs, it won't be as simple a road for them as they had hoped.

With Wuhan Zall not in good spirits and having suffered a two-match losing streak at home, it's difficult to see the visitors getting anything from this match too, as they are nowhere near convincing enough to win or outplay the hosts.

With nothing to lose in this match, the hosts have a lot to gain moving forward, which could see them rise to 12th place, making them a more convincing pick in the Asian Handicap market as this could be a tight encounter between two inconsistent sides.
