Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC

Form: LDWWW

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.

Nantong Zhiyun FC

Form: WWLLL

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.
