Considering that they had the opportunity to finish in the middle of the table this season, it will definitely come as a hard pill to swallow for the Cangzhou Mighty Lions, who are expected to finish in the bottom half of the table. With two games left to spare, they need just a single point to retain their place in the upcoming season, having maintained a five-point cushion over the drop zone.

The Mighty Lions were brought back down to earth in their latest match against Tianjin Teda, where, despite scoring the opening goal, they succumbed to a narrow 3-2 defeat on the road. This halted a five-match unbeaten run in the league (W3, D2), though they come into this clash boasting a two-match winning streak at home.

Last season, Nantong Zhiyun narrowly avoided the relegation zone by the skin of their teeth settling for a 14th place finish and two measly points ahead of the drop zone. This season, their two-year absence in the top flight is under threat, as a return to the second division appears imminent considering they are at the foot of the table with 21 points accumulated.

However, it has to be said there have been signs of improvement lately with their performance as they come into this match, having collected maximum points from their last two matches securing wins against Qingdao Hainiu FC (2-1) and Zhejiang Professional FC (3-2). Before this, they were on an eight-match winless run, recording seven losses and one draw.

• Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC have scored the opening goal in each of their last four matches in the Super League.
• Nantong Zhiyun FC are currently in a four-match losing streak when playing away in the Super League.
• Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC averages 1.31 goals per game when playing at home, and Nantong Zhiyun FC averages 1.38 goals per game when playing away.

In the last 5 meetings, Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC have won 2 times, Nantong Zhiyun FC have won 0 times, and there have been 3 draws with the goal difference being 8-6 in favour of Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC. 

Both teams still have something to play for, and neither side can afford to drop points. The away side has not won against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC in their last five encounters, and given their poor form on the road, nothing much can be expected from them in this one. Therefore, support the home side in the handicap W1 (0).

• Handicap 1 (0) for 1.84
• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.65
• Corners - Over 9.5 for 1.65
