In pursuit of a win on their 16th Super League matchday, Guangzhou City, who are currently stuck in the relegation zone, will host Tianjin Teda at the Yuexiushan Stadium.
Will this be the turning point they were looking for, or will Tianjin Teda turn out to be a tricky foe to outwit?
Guangzhou City
Form: LLLLL
It would be simple for them to get out of their recent dismal match results by blaming Zhao Junzhe for his ineffective tactical approach and execution in matches.
But in actuality, it is the players' underperformance that has brought them to this point, since they have entered the majority of their games without even the slightest hint of purpose or resolve.
They lost 2:1 to Chengdu Rongcheng in their most recent match, which did them no good in their quest for a second victory in the super league and cost them valuable match points.
With just three points from a victory over Hebei CFFC, they are currently situated in 17th place and are mired in the relegation zone. Additionally, it's possible that after the season is through, there will be a predictable relegation to the second-tier league.
Tianjin Teda
Form: LDDWL
They came within inches of holding Shanghai SIPG to a scoreless draw in their most recent match before being pummeled by a late goal from the opponents in the last seconds of play (90'+4), which left them shattered and left them with no time to respond as they suffered a 1:0 loss on the road.
It was a minor setback for their team to not settle for a point against the hosts after going three games without losing, collecting one win and three draws.
Nevertheless, their motivation is far from being dented, and they will look for solace in recording a victory against struggling Guangzhou City.
Even though their four-match unbeaten streak, during which they amassed five points in five games, wasn't quite enough to maintain their ninth-place standing, which has caused them to occupy 11th place in the Super League rankings, they did manage to partially meet expectations despite their neither particularly poor nor impressive form.

Expert Betting Tips
Guangzhou City's morale might be at an all-time low as the current season nears its conclusion and is almost halfway over, which might raise serious concerns about their future in the Super League.
A difficult task for the hosts would be to leave with all three points on the table, but they might be on the front lines of breaching the opposition's defense, which could lead them to score.
On the other hand, Tianjin Teda will undoubtedly approach this match in a distinctive way to get a more resoundingly favorable outcome on the road following their modest setback against Shanghai SIPG.
The Over 2.5 goals market is a wise wager that could end up being strongly favored in this matchup as both teams struggle to keep clean sheets as demonstrated by their recent games. Therefore, an over 2.5 goals bet would be sufficient in this situation.
