Currently, Zhejiang Professional occupies 7th place with 32 points from 25 games. Due to a lackluster season, the team can only aim for a modest fifth place in the standings with five games left to spare.

The Green Giants failed to redeem themselves in the AFC Champions League, losing 2-0 on the road against Lion City Sailors, a result that came as no surprise considering they were dragging behind them a three-match winless run in the league (L2, D1), including a recent 4-3 defeat at the hands of title-chasing Shanghai Shenhua.

Cangzhou Mighty Lions, on the other hand, are embroiled in a relegation dogfight as they are four points clear off the drop zone. They occupy 9th place in the standings with 27 points from 25 games.

Xiaopeng Li's men set foot at the Yellow Dragon Sports Center high on confidence as they have been on a rampant run, going four league matches without defeat. A hard-fought 2-1 home victory against Meizhou Hakka FC last weekend marked their third consecutive win and will be aiming to make it four wins in a row for the first time in club history.

Zhejiang Professional FC has been presented with the opportunity to compensate for the disappointing results in and out of the league by aiming for maximum points in this match. However, they have to be really at their best, as their opponents, Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC, are currently brimming with confidence as they come into this match boasting a three-match winning streak.
