Ricardo Rodríguez's, who was appointed as manager for Wuhan Three Towns this season with the intention of turning back the clock and restoring the team's glory days, has failed to achieve the desired results. Currently, the team occupies eighth place with 18 points in the standings, has maintained a five-point cushion over the relegation zone, and is two points adrift of seventh-placed Tianjin Teda. 

The 2021-22 champions have struggled for consistency in the league and come into this match with just two wins from their last five matches (L3). Despite having home advantage at their disposal, it wasn't enough to see them evade a 2-0 defeat at the hands of table-toppers and defending champions Shanghai Port FC in their most recent match.

Nantong Zhiyun FC have had a lackluster season and are on the verge of taking a trip to the second tier. Currently, the team occupies 16th place with 11 points accumulated and is two points adrift of safety. 

Nantong Zhiyun were stunned by Tianjin Teda in their recent match to play out a 1-1 draw, thwarting their chances of recording their third win of the season. In that match, they took the lead through Yongtao Lu's goal in the 45th minute, only to squander their lead in the dying minutes of the game. So far, they have failed to win their last eight matches (L5, D3) in the league and enter this match riding a two-match losing streak, recording successive 5-2 defeats against Zhejiang Professional FC and Beijing Guoan FC.

Wuhan Three Towns have played far from convincing this season, but on paper, they are the better side compared to their opponents in this impending encounter. Boasting the fifth worst offense in the league, they haveseen securing wins as a hurdle, although this time around we expect them to overcome their weaknesses. 

Nantong Zhiyun FC enters this match low on confidence, as they are currently on an eight-match winless run (L5, D3). Away from home, they are currently on a four-match winless run (L3, D1) and have won one of their last eight matches (L4, D3).
