Let's have a look at the latest Chinese Super League predictions between Zhejiang Professional FC vs. Henan FC, probable lineups, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

Zhejiang Professional FC

Form: WWWDW

The Green Giants were successful in their attempt to continue their fine run in the league, as they won 5-0 on the road against the league's bottom-dwelling side, Shenzhen FC.

With that win, the Green Giants have established themselves as one of the most formidable teams in the league and are likely contenders to finish in the top three. They are currently on a three-match winning streak in the league and have avoided defeat in eleven matches, a laudable run that sees them with plenty of momentum.

Playing at home has seen them be a difficult side to beat as they have yet to suffer defeat in seven matches across all competitions, picking up five wins and two draws. The last time they played Henan FC at home, the outcome resulted in a 1-0 defeat, though that shouldn't dampen their confident mood in search of another statement win.

They currently occupy fourth place with 45 points, level on points with third-placed Shanghai Shenhua, and are two points ahead of fifth-placed Chengdu Rongcheng.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

B. Zhao; Y. Xin, H. Liu, S. Zhengao, D. Yu; Z. Jiaqi, Q. Jiegei, L. Tixiang, C. Jin; Leonardo, N. Mushekwi

Henan FC

Form: DWWWW

Despite off-pitch drama from their bench, which resulted in a second bookable offense for Zhao Ke to be sent off in first half stoppage time, Henan FC didn't let any of that distract their play as they salvaged a point in a goalless draw against Meizhou Hakka on the road, though they would've preferred to have claimed maximum points.

Their resilient attitude in matches has undeniably paid off handsomely, as they find themselves riding on the back of a five-match unbeaten run, recording four wins and a draw. This commendable run has distanced them from what could have been a relegation scramble, and now the focus is on achieving a mid-table finish.

While they are on a two-match unbeaten run away from home, there's no denying that their away form has been a concern, as they have only one win in seven matches alongside five losses and a draw.

They currently occupy 10th place with 32 points in the standings, two points ahead of 11th-placed Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC and 12th-placed Meizhou Hakka FC. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 3-4-2-1

W. Guoming; L. Songyi, S. Yang, T. Sunjic; X. Luo, T. Pina, A. Mierzejewski, D. Mawlanyaz; G. Tianyu, Y. Zhong; N. Covic

Head-To-Head

In the last 18 meetings, Zhejiang Professional FC have won 4 times, Henan FC have won 8 times, and there have been 6 draws, with the goal difference being 20-16 in favor of Henan FC.

Expert Betting Tips

With Zhejiang Professional FC in fine form in the league, there's no doubt they are once again tipped favorites to pick up another three-pointer this time at home, where they have been averaging 1.77 points per game.

However, their opponent is also not one to be ruled out, as their resilience has made them a tough nut to crack, and despite being underdogs in this one, they are worth a goal having found the back of the net in eight of their thirteen away matches.

As such, we anticipate seeing both sides get on the scoreboard, as we don't see Zhejiang Professional FC keeping a resurgent Henan FC side at bay. However, their win is not one to be doubted.
