Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Wuhan Zall vs Tianjin Teda, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Wuhan Zall

Form: LDWLL

Their recent game against Cangzhou Mighty Lions was nothing short of a disappointing result as they fell to a 1:0 defeat on the road with their search for an equalizer turning out to be in vain and this has made them unsuccessful in regaining their form.

It's quite alarming to see the team's recent form, which has seen them being inconsistent as they've only managed to win one of their last 5 matches so far collecting 4 points in the process. This comes after they opened their first game of the season against Shanghai SIPG on the road with a narrow 1:0 victory and went on to wreck havoc by winning three straight matches while maintaining a consistent form.

While their last encounter with Tianjin Teda on the road wasn't one they'd want to go back to anytime soon—they lost 3:1, displaying no signs of any kind of grit—perhaps this time, with a niggling suspicion that luck might be on their side—they've gone unbeaten in their last three home games and have steadfastly worked to keep their home form in good shape which could work in their favour in search of a victory.

As a result of their lack of competitive edge, they have fallen steeply behind in the standings and are currently in 16th place with 16 points, one point behind 15th place Guangzhou Evergrande. Intervention is now necessary if they don't want their hopes of competing in the Super League next season to vanish into thin air.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-2

Z. Zhenqiang (22); D. Xu (28), B. Viana (5), Y. Chongqiu (33), L. Peng (2), C. Yuhao (32); A. Kajevic (16), N. Aoshuang (18), J. Hu (24); F. Brown Forbes (10), Z. Pi (40).

Tianjin Teda

Form: DDWWW

Due to a botched defense in the 35th minute of the first half that saw their opposition Henan Jianye net in one goal, Jose's men found themselves trailing by a goal going into the second half but it wasn't until Xie Weijun introduction in the 58th minute that he was the trump card they needed to salvage a point as the 25 year old striker came to the rescue in the 81st minute to put one back for his team as the match concluded with a 1:1 scoreline.

Their performance thus far has been excellent; they are now on a 7-match winning streak, during which they have achieved 5 victories and two draws for a total of 17 points; they have certainly lived up to expectations given their vast track record, which is beyond dispute at this juncture.

They have had a solid performance in their last 14 away games, winning 6, tying four, and losing four. Since they have won two and drawn two of their last four meetings with Wuhan Zall, the Tigers have repeatedly shown their teeth against them.

Now in eighth place with 46 points, and as they are three points clear of ninth-placed Meizhou Hakka and would have a 5-point deficit for a 7tb place finish, their only option is to maintain their current position.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 5-3-1

J. Xu (26); W. Jianan (20), S. Yue (33), D. Andujar Jimenez (2), Q. Yumiao (23), T. Yinong (31); F. Rosa (18), T. Piao (24), W. Qiuming (30), X. Sun (37); R. Beric (9).

Expert Betting Tips

Tianjin Teda are currently beaming because their performance has been anything but disappointing. They are currently undefeated in seven games, a streak they'll want to maintain as they take on a team who may not pose a threat given their lackluster play. This matchup may be the ideal chance for them to win as they work to finish the season in the middle of the table.

Wuhan Zall have been caught in the crossfire because of their sluggish match play, which has led to their relegation, and nothing but a sense of urgency will be on their minds to win as that's the only option that could at least ease their minds to safeguard their future in the Super League as failure to do so will put them at risk of being ousted at the end of the season.

We don't expect Wuhan Zall to present any difficulties, therefore expect a convincing 1st half victory for Tianjin Teda this time around. Tianjin Teda is on a quest of their own to earn a mid-table finish, which makes their odds of sealing all three points quite likely.

• 1st Half Result - Tianjin Teda for 2.05
