They have been making an effort to maintain a balanced form, but they keep tumbling over when the pace picks up, despite their form not being quite there yet.
They made headlines in their most recent encounter against Shenzhen FC when they pulled off one of the most stunning outcomes, recording a 5-1 road win to retain all three points and move farther ahead of Cangzhou Mighty Lions by a three-point margin.
Despite their inconsistent performance, they have been able to earn 8 points over their last five games thanks to a loss, two victories, and two draws.
They currently hold the 14th spot in the Super League standings with 15 points, four points above the relegation zone. They are only three points away from holding the 12th spot, which would put them at ease because they would be out of the relegation zone's grasp.
Hebei F.C.
Form: LLLLL
The visitors are still in an odd scenario as they are mired in a pool of consecutive losses, their play has plummeted to the point of inconsistency, and they are still trapped in the relegation zone.
Even though they scored and managed to find the net through Chen Yunhua's strike in the first 34 minutes of their recent match against Beijing Guoan, they were unable to withstand the pressure on their own and were left with just a consolation goal as they fell to a 3-1 defeat on the road.
With a losing streak of five games during which they have failed to accrue even a single point, their performance has been patchy and unreliable over the course of their last five games.
While they are out of confidence, there might be a spark that'll tempt them to record a positive result against Dalian Pro, which in this case lies in their past head-to-head meetings, where they have the upper hand by a big margin.

Expert Betting Tips
Hebei F.C. has had the advantage in previous head-to-head matches, so Dalian Pro will undoubtedly be out to show something as they are the overwhelming favorites to defeat a faltering Hebei F.C.
Given Hebei F.C.'s porous defense, the home team's renowned attacking trio will undoubtedly pay off as they attempt to breach their opponents' defense lines and will be more than enough for them to register a goal without any trouble.
The visitors' confidence may be utterly destroyed as a result of their extreme decline in performance and lack of resiliency to even attempt to produce a more convincing result.
The bookmakers aren't totally certain that they'll be on the scoresheet in this matchup, so they come with a high price tag that might see them discover the back of the line against Dalian Pro.
Given that the hosts' defense has not been as transparent as it may appear—allowing in a total of 6 goals in their last five games—it should be worth taking into account in this particular scenario.
- Total 2 - Over 0.5 for 2.50
- Corners - Over 9 for 2.00
- 1st Half Total - Over 1.5 for 2.10
