Wuhan Three Towns failed to make most of their chances at goal count as they missed out on salvaging a crucial point against ten-man Zhejiang Professional FC, losing 2:1 on the road.

This comes after a 1:0 victory over Qingdao Hainiu FC, where substitute Liuyu Duan's goal in the 63rd minute was enough to see them claim three points in front of their own supporters.

Despite being confronted with a floundering performance in the league, Tsutomu Takahata's side have slowly started to pick up the pieces at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium, with three wins from their nine matches while being flooded with five draws and a solitary loss.

Instead of taking a few steps forward, they've taken a few steps back, as they have moved two places down from fifth place to seventh place with 30 points, level on points with eighth-placed Tianjin Teda in the standings, but can still count themselves lucky as they are still in contention for an AFC Champions League Qualifiers spot with only five points separating them from achieving that goal.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

The Red Devils were a tad unlucky not to have claimed a positive result against Beijing Guoan away from home as they slumped to a disappointing 3:1 defeat despite taking the lead through former Serbian international Nemanja Čović in the opening four minutes.

This comes after their convincing 3:1 win over ten-man Shenzhen FC at home, where despite being a goal down in the opening eight minutes, they managed to come from behind to score two goals in the space of two minutes courtesy of Zichang Huang and Nemanja Čović strikes, while Ruifeng Huang's own goal in the 52nd minute served as a gift.

It's fair to say that the Red Devils have not been at their best when playing away, as they have struggled to maintain a consistent form, losing four consecutive matches while winning only one of their ten matches, which goes to show that their struggles on the road are far from over.

They presently occupy 12th place with 19 points, level on points with Qingdao Hainiu FC in 11th place and Meizhou Hakka FC in 13th place, while they have only maintained a four-point advantage over the relegation zone.

Formation: 4-4-2

• Wuhan Three Towns have won three of their last nine home matches in the Super League.
• Henan FC have won one of their last eight matches in all competitions.
• Wuhan Three Towns averages 1.11 goals per game when playing at home, and Henan FC averages 0.7 goals per game when playing away.

The last meeting between these two sides was in the 6th round of the current CSL season, where both sides were content with a point after playing out a 1:1 draw at the Zhengzhou Hanghai Stadium.

In the last 3 meetings, Wuhan Three Towns have won 1 time, Henan FC have won 1 time, and there have been 1 draw.

Wuhan Three Towns will have some introspection to do when all is said and done with the current Super League campaign, as they have failed to live up to expectations to defend their title. However, all that disappointment can be brushed aside if they were to finish in an AFC Champions League qualifier spot, and that means embarking on a layer charge where anything other than a win won't be accepted from now on.

Henan FC have been in poor form, which has seen them lose six of their last eight matches in all competitions, and while nothing much can be expected from them here, they are not a side to be completely written off from causing an upset.

The visitors have conceded exactly three goals in three of their last ten away matches in the Super League, depicting a side that won't lose by a big margin in this clash, and given that the hosts have scored an individual total of over 2.5 goals in just one of their nine home matches, we anticipate them to go under against a side that has shown defensive stealth on the road.

• Total 1 - Under 2.5 for 1.62
• Goals - Under 2.5 for 2.28
• Both Teams To Score - No 1.80
